Gregory Fong 36ecafc5ad MIPS: initial stack protector support
Implements basic stack protector support based on ARM version in
c743f38013 , with Kconfig option,
constant canary value set at boot time, and script to check if
compiler actually supports stack protector.

Tested by creating a kernel module that writes past end of char[].

/*
* GCC stack protector support.
*
* (This is directly adopted from the ARM implementation)
*
* Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
* the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
* returning from the function. The pattern is called stack canary
* and gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
* "__stack_chk_guard" on MIPS. This unfortunately means that on SMP
* we cannot have a different canary value per task.
