[PATCH v2 09/14] x86/alternative: Implement .retpoline_sites support

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Oct 20 2021 - 07:04:21 EST


Rewrite retpoline thunk call sites to be indirect calls for
spectre_v2=off. This ensures spectre_v2=off is as near to a
RETPOLINE=n build as possible.

This is the replacement for objtool writing alternative entries to
ensure the same and achieves feature-parity with the previous
approach.

One noteworthy feature is that it relies on the thunks to be in
machine order to compute the register index.

Specifically, this does not yet address the Jcc __x86_indirect_thunk_*
calls generated by clang, a future patch will add this.
