While testing the patchset at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1306873314-32523-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de
with binutils 2.16.1 from hell, kernel build fails with the following
error:
arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S:139: Error: too many positional arguments
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/ia32] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2

due to spaces between the operators of the __USER32_CS define. Fix it so
that gas 2.16 can swallow it too.

Make the GDT_ENTRY() macro in <asm/segment.h> safe for use in
assembly code by guarding the ULL suffixes with _AC() macros.

gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.
Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
