Summary:
In rL255491, the safestack overflow test was disabled for aarch64, since
it "is currently failing on an AArch64 buildbot with a segfault, but it
is currently passing on other configuration".
While testing on FreeBSD on x86, I also encountered a segfault. This is
because the `fct()` function actually writes before and after `buffer`,
and on FreeBSD this crashes because `buffer` is usually allocated at the
end of a page. That this runs correctly on Linux is probably just by
accident.
I propose to fix this by adding a pre and post buffer, to act as a
safety zone. The pre and post buffers must be accessed in an 'unsafe'
way, otherwise -fsanitize=safestack will allocate them on the safe
stack, and they will not bookend `buffer` itself. Therefore, I create
them large enough for `fct()`, and call it on both of them.
On FreeBSD, this makes the test run as expected, without segfaulting,
and I suppose this will also fix the segfault on AArch64. I do not have
AArch64 testing capabilities, so if someone could try that out, I would
be much obliged.

The safestack overflow.c test is currently failing on an aarch64
buildbot with a segfault, but it is currently passing on other
configuration.
This patch silent the issue for now on aarch64 by setting to all
supported architectures the 'stable-runtime' configure and set
the test to requires it.

This patch adds runtime support for the Safe Stack protection to compiler-rt
(see http://reviews.llvm.org/D6094 for the detailed description of the
Safe Stack).
This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of compiler-rt. The
patch adds basic runtime support for the safe stack to compiler-rt that
manages unsafe stack allocation/deallocation for each thread.
Original patch by Volodymyr Kuznetsov and others at the Dependable Systems
Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.
