x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.
* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
and simplifies entry path with error code.
* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The
lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.
xen and lguest changes need to be verified.
