[PATCH V2 0/9] objtool changes to remove all ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE

[Alexandre Chartre]

Hi,

This is version v2 of this patchset based on the different comments
received so far. It now uses and includes PeterZ patch to add
UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET. Other changes are described below.

Code like retpoline or RSB stuffing, which is used to mitigate some of
the speculative execution issues, is currently ignored by objtool with
the ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE directive. This series adds support
for intra-function calls to objtool so that it can handle such a code.
With these changes, we can remove all ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE
directives.

Changes:
 - replace RETPOLINE_RET with PeterZ UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET
 - make objtool intra-function call action architecture dependent
 - objtool now automatically detects and validates all intra-function
   calls but it issues a warning if the call was not explicitly tagged
 - change __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER to work with objtool
 - add generic ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL macro
 - remove all ANNOTATE_SPEC_ALTERNATIVE (even for __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER)

Thanks,

alex.
