The host shared library rules are currently implemented in
scripts/Makefile.host, but actually GCC-plugin is the only user of
them. (The VDSO .so files are built for the target by different
build rules) Hence, they do not need to be treewide available.

Move all the relevant build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile.

I also optimized the build steps so *.so is directly built from .c
because every upstream plugin is compiled from a single source file.

I am still keeping the multi-file plugin support, which Kees Cook
mentioned might be needed by out-of-tree plugins.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/11/1107)

If the plugin, foo.so, is compiled from two files foo.c and foo2.c,
then you can do like follows:

  foo-objs := foo.o foo2.o

Single-file plugins do not need the *-objs notation.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

<id>feee1b8c490821f29aae416a5422795f5a29263d</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel code instrumentation in stackleak gcc plugin works in two stages.
At first, stack tracking is added to GIMPLE representation of every function
(except some special cases). And later, when stack frame size info is
available, stack tracking is removed from the RTL representation of the
functions with small stack frame. There is an unwanted side-effect for these
functions: some of them do useless work with caller-saved registers.

As an example of such case, proc_sys_write without() instrumentation:
    55                      push   %rbp
    41 b8 01 00 00 00       mov    $0x1,%r8d
    48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
    e8 11 ff ff ff          callq  ffffffff81284610 &lt;proc_sys_call_handler&gt;
    5d                      pop    %rbp
    c3                      retq
    0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
    66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00    nopw   %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
    00 00 00

proc_sys_write() with instrumentation:
    55                      push   %rbp
    48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
    41 56                   push   %r14
    41 55                   push   %r13
    41 54                   push   %r12
    53                      push   %rbx
    49 89 f4                mov    %rsi,%r12
    48 89 fb                mov    %rdi,%rbx
    49 89 d5                mov    %rdx,%r13
    49 89 ce                mov    %rcx,%r14

    4c 89 e6                mov    %r12,%rsi
    48 89 df                mov    %rbx,%rdi
    41 b8 01 00 00 00       mov    $0x1,%r8d
    e8 f2 fe ff ff          callq  ffffffff81298e80 &lt;proc_sys_call_handler&gt;
    5b                      pop    %rbx
    41 5c                   pop    %r12
    41 5d                   pop    %r13
    41 5e                   pop    %r14
    5d                      pop    %rbp
    c3                      retq
    66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00    nopw   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
    00 00

Let's improve the instrumentation to avoid this:

1. Make stackleak_track_stack() save all register that it works with.
Use no_caller_saved_registers attribute for that function. This attribute
is available for x86_64 and i386 starting from gcc-7.

2. Insert calling stackleak_track_stack() in asm:
  asm volatile("call stackleak_track_stack" :: "r" (current_stack_pointer))
Here we use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT trick from arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h.
The input constraint is taken into account during gcc shrink-wrapping
optimization. It is needed to be sure that stackleak_track_stack() call is
inserted after the prologue of the containing function, when the stack
frame is prepared.

This work is a deep reengineering of the idea described on grsecurity blog
  https://grsecurity.net/resolving_an_unfortunate_stackleak_interaction

    5d                      pop    %rbp
    c3                      retq
    66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00    nopw   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
    00 00

Let's improve the instrumentation to avoid this:

1. Make stackleak_track_stack() save all register that it works with.
Use no_caller_saved_registers attribute for that function. This attribute
is available for x86_64 and i386 starting from gcc-7.

2. Insert calling stackleak_track_stack() in asm:
  asm volatile("call stackleak_track_stack" :: "r" (current_stack_pointer))
Here we use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT trick from arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h.
The input constraint is taken into account during gcc shrink-wrapping
optimization. It is needed to be sure that stackleak_track_stack() call is
inserted after the prologue of the containing function, when the stack
frame is prepared.

This work is a deep reengineering of the idea described on grsecurity blog
  https://grsecurity.net/resolving_an_unfortunate_stackleak_interaction

Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
 "This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
  bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
  stack protector is enabled"

[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
  4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.

  That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
  depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
  with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.

  This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
  either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
  so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require.   - Linus ]

* 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux:
  compiler_types.h: Use unoptimized __unqual_scalar_typeof for sparse
  compiler_types.h: Optimize __unqual_scalar_typeof compilation time
  compiler.h: Enforce that READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() access size is sizeof(long)
  compiler-types.h: Include naked type in __pick_integer_type() match
  READ_ONCE: Fix comment describing 2x32-bit atomicity
  gcov: Remove old GCC 3.4 support
  arm64: barrier: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for acquire/release macros
  locking/barriers: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for load-acquire macros
  READ_ONCE: Drop pointer qualifiers when reading from scalar types
  READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses
  READ_ONCE: Simplify implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
  arm64: csum: Disable KASAN for do_csum()
  fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE()
  net: tls: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  netfilter: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8

This is the remnant of commit c17d6179ad5a ("gcc-plugins: remove unused
GCC_PLUGIN_SUBDIR").

The conditional $(if $(findstring /,$(p)),...) is always false because
none of plugins contains '/' in the file name.

Clean up the code.

It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.
