Pull Xtensa updates from Max Filippov:

 - add SSP support

 - add KASAN support

 - improvements to xtensa-specific assembly:
    - use ENTRY and ENDPROC consistently
    - clean up and unify word alignment macros
    - clean up and unify fixup marking
    - use 'call' instead of 'callx' where possible

 - various cleanups:
    - consiolidate kernel stack size related definitions
    - replace #ifdef'fed/commented out debug printk statements with
      pr_debug
    - use struct exc_table instead of flat array for exception handling
      data

 - build kernel with -mtext-section-literals; simplify xtensa linker
   script

 - fix futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()

Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable
HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills
shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call
kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch.
Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the
memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from
VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock
initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN
initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times
larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows.
GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN.
