if CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is set then the user most definitely wanted
to see as much information about kernel crashes as possible - so give
them at least a stack dump.
this is particularly useful for stackprotector related panics, where
the stacktrace can give us the exact location of the (attempted)
attack.

the boot CPU's idle task has a zero stackprotector canary value.
this is a special task that is never forked, so the fork code
does not randomize its canary. Do it when we hit cpu_idle().
Academic sidenote: this means that the early init code runs with a
zero canary and hence the canary becomes predictable for this short,
boot-only amount of time.
Although attack vectors against early init code are very rare, it might
make sense to move this initialization to an earlier point.
(to one of the early init functions that never return - such as
start_kernel())

The idle threads for non-boot CPUs are a bit special in how they
are created; the result is that these don't have the stack canary
set up properly in their PDA. Easiest fix is to just always set
the PDA up correctly when entering the idle thread; this is a NOP
for the boot cpu.

fix a bug noticed and fixed by pageexec@freemail.hu.
if built with -fstack-protector-all then we'll have canary checks built
into the __switch_to() function. That does not work well with the
canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the
new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary
value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions
will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return
from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic.
so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are
at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next
(and now freshly current) task.
Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions]
still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous
and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic)
disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of
another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker
able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others).
To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move
the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in
another patch.

on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function
calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for
example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE
write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function
call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the
stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup.
the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c
from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's
not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on
their stack anyway...

Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something )

Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.
