With GCC version >= 8, the cgraph_create_edge() macro argument using
"frequency" goes unused. Instead of assigning a temporary variable for
the argument, pass the compute_call_stmt_bb_frequency() call directly
as the macro argument so that it will just not be called when it is
not wanted by the macros.
Silences the warning:
scripts/gcc-plugins/stackleak_plugin.c:54:6: warning: variable ‘frequency’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
Now builds cleanly with gcc-7 and gcc-9. Both boot and pass

Currently the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass deleting a CALL insn is executed
after the 'reload' pass. That allows gcc to do some weird optimization in
function prologues and epilogues, which are generated later [1].
Let's avoid that by registering the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass before
the '*free_cfg' pass. It's the moment when the stack frame size is
already final, function prologues and epilogues are generated, and the
machine-dependent code transformations are not done.

The STACKLEAK feature erases the kernel stack before returning from
syscalls. That reduces the information which kernel stack leak bugs can
reveal and blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks.
This commit introduces the STACKLEAK gcc plugin. It is needed for
tracking the lowest border of the kernel stack, which is important
for the code erasing the used part of the kernel stack at the end
of syscalls (comes in a separate commit).
The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
https://grsecurity.net/https://pax.grsecurity.net/
This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect
the original grsecurity/PaX code.
