As we move stuff around, some doc references are broken. Fix some of
them via this script:

Manually checked if the produced result is valid, removing a few
false-positives.

<title>Kbuild: rename HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR config variable</title>

HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack
canary implementation.  It is not about the compiler support.

For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9dc9 ("Kbuild: rename
CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the
config symbol.

I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting.

<id>050e9baa9dc9fbd9ce2b27f0056990fc9e0a08a0</id>
<content type='text'>
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.

That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.

HOWEVER.

It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y

and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.

The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one.  This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).

This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Now that the compiler's plugin support is checked in Kconfig,
all{yes,mod}config will not be bothered.

Remove 'depends on !COMPILE_TEST' for GCC_PLUGINS.

'depends on !COMPILE_TEST' for the following three are still kept:
  GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
  GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_VERBOSE
  GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE

Kees suggested to do so because the first two are too noisy, and the
last one would reduce the compile test coverage.  I commented the
reasons in arch/Kconfig.

Run scripts/gcc-plugin.sh from Kconfig so that users can enable
GCC_PLUGINS only when the compiler supports building plugins.

Kconfig defines a new symbol, PLUGIN_HOSTCC.  This will contain
the compiler (g++ or gcc) used for building plugins, or empty
if the plugin can not be supported at all.

This allows us to remove all ugly testing in Makefile.gcc-plugins.

<title>stack-protector: test compiler capability in Kconfig and drop AUTO mode</title>

Move the test for -fstack-protector(-strong) option to Kconfig.

If the compiler does not support the option, the corresponding menu
is automatically hidden.  If STRONG is not supported, it will fall
back to REGULAR.  If REGULAR is not supported, it will be disabled.
This means, AUTO is implicitly handled by the dependency solver of
Kconfig, hence removed.

I also turned the 'choice' into only two boolean symbols.  The use of
'choice' is not a good idea here, because all of all{yes,mod,no}config
would choose the first visible value, while we want allnoconfig to
disable as many features as possible.

X86 has additional shell scripts in case the compiler supports those
options, but generates broken code.  I added CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR
to test this.  I had to add -m32 to gcc-x86_32-has-stack-protector.sh
to make it work correctly.
