configure: add option to disable -fstack-protector flags
The -fstack-protector flag family is useful for ensuring safety and for
debugging, but has a performance impact. Here are some boot time comparisons of
the various versions of -fstack-protector using qemu-system-arm on an x86_64
host:
# -fstack-protector-all
Startup finished in 1.810s (kernel) + 12.331s (initrd) + 49.016s (userspace) = 1min 3.159s
Startup finished in 1.801s (kernel) + 12.287s (initrd) + 47.925s (userspace) = 1min 2.013s
Startup finished in 1.812s (kernel) + 12.302s (initrd) + 47.995s (userspace) = 1min 2.111s
# -fstack-protector-strong
Startup finished in 1.744s (kernel) + 11.223s (initrd) + 44.688s (userspace) = 57.657s
Startup finished in 1.721s (kernel) + 11.222s (initrd) + 44.194s (userspace) = 57.138s
Startup finished in 1.693s (kernel) + 11.250s (initrd) + 44.426s (userspace) = 57.370s
# -fstack-protector
Startup finished in 1.705s (kernel) + 11.409s (initrd) + 43.563s (userspace) = 56.677s
Startup finished in 1.877s (kernel) + 11.137s (initrd) + 43.719s (userspace) = 56.734s
Startup finished in 1.708s (kernel) + 11.141s (initrd) + 43.628s (userspace) = 56.478s
# no stack protector
Startup finished in 1.743s (kernel) + 11.190s (initrd) + 43.709s (userspace) = 56.643s
Startup finished in 1.763s (kernel) + 11.216s (initrd) + 43.767s (userspace) = 56.747s
Startup finished in 1.711s (kernel) + 11.283s (initrd) + 43.878s (userspace) = 56.873s
This patch introduces a configure option to disable the stack protector
entirely, and conditional stack protector flag selection (in order,
based on availability): -fstack-protector-strong, -fstack-protector-all,
no stack protector.
