Implementation of stackleak based heavily on the x86 version

Changes since last time:
- Minor name change in entry.S
- Converted to use the generic interfaces so there's minimal additions.
- Added the fast syscall path.
- Addition of on_thread_stack and current_top_of_stack
- Disable stackleak on hyp per suggestion
- Added a define for check_alloca. I'm still not sure about keeping it
since the x86 version got reworked?

I've mostly kept this as one patch with a minimal commit text. I can
split it up and elaborate more before final merging.

Could you rename the macro to STACKLEAK_ERASE for similarity with x86?


Mark Rutland had previously asked for this to be lowercase.
I really don't care one way or the other so I'll defer to
someone else to have the final word.

This code should be updated.
You may remember the troubles I had with MIN_STACK_LEFT:
http://openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2018/05/11/12
Please see that thread where Mark Rutland and I worked out the solution.


Ah yeah, I missed the details in that thread. Thanks for
that pointer.

By the way, different stacks on x86_64 have different sizes. Is it false for arm64?


Currently everything except the overflow stack looks to be
the same size but there's also another stack I missed. It might
be cleaner just to use on_accessible_stack and then another
function to get the top of stack. This also might just be
reimplementing what x86 already has? (Mark, Ard?)

Thanks,
Laura
