Subject: [PATCH v2 01/13] arm64: stackleak: fix current_top_of_stack()

Due to some historical confusion, arm64's current_top_of_stack() isn't
what the stackleak code expects. This could in theory result in a number
of problems, and practically results in an unnecessary performance hit.
We can avoid this by aligning the arm64 implementation with the x86
implementation.

The arm64 implementation of current_top_of_stack() was added
specifically for stackleak in commit:

  0b3e336601b82c6a ("arm64: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin")

This was intended to be equivalent to the x86 implementation, but the
implementation, semantics, and performance characteristics differ
wildly:

* On x86, current_top_of_stack() returns the top of the current task's
  task stack, regardless of which stack is in active use.

  The implementation accesses a percpu variable which the x86 entry code
  maintains, and returns the location immediately above the pt_regs on
  the task stack (above which x86 has some padding).

* On arm64 current_top_of_stack() returns the top of the stack in active
  use (i.e. the one which is currently being used).

  The implementation checks the SP against a number of
  potentially-accessible stacks, and will BUG() if no stack is found.

The core stackleak_erase() code determines the upper bound of stack to
erase with:

| if (on_thread_stack())
|         boundary = current_stack_pointer;
| else
|         boundary = current_top_of_stack();

On arm64 stackleak_erase() is always called on a task stack, and
on_thread_stack() should always be true. On x86, stackleak_erase() is
mostly called on a trampoline stack, and is sometimes called on a task
stack.

Currently, this results in a lot of unnecessary code being generated for
arm64 for the impossible !on_thread_stack() case. Some of this is
inlined, bloating stackleak_erase(), while portions of this are left
out-of-line and permitted to be instrumented (which would be a
functional problem if that code were reachable).

As a first step towards improving this, this patch aligns arm64's
implementation of current_top_of_stack() with x86's, always returning
the top of the current task's stack. With GCC 11.1.0 this results in the
bulk of the unnecessary code being removed, including all of the
out-of-line instrumentable code.

While I don't believe there's a functional problem in practice I've
marked this as a fix since the semantic was clearly wrong, the fix
itself is simple, and other code might rely upon this in future.
