[PATCH v2 0/6] Rust: support `CPU_MITIGATIONS` and enable `objtool`

From: Miguel Ojeda

Hi,

This is an updated series to the CPU mitigations support for Rust. It
also has the patch to enable `objtool`, so that we can start running it
for Rust.

It would be nice to get this applied soon, so that we start being
warning-free (since we already get warnings under IBT builds via
`vmlinux.o`). I am happy to take it through the Rust tree if the x86 and
objtool maintainers give an Acked-by, or through any of the other trees,
as you prefer. Otherwise, I think at this point we would need to make
Rust exclusive to the mitigations, which isn't great.

With this series, again, x86_64 is warning-free with `objtool` enabled. I
tested `-O2`/`-Os` and the Rust versions we support under `-O2` (mainly
for the `noreturn` patch, which uses heuristics), as well as IBT vs. no
IBT (i.e. running on individual object files vs. in `vmlinux`). I also
did an arm64 build.

Testing is very welcome for this one!

Cheers,
Miguel

v2:
- Add patch to enable `objtool` for Rust.

- Add patch to list `noreturn` Rust functions (via heuristics) to avoid
warnings related to that.

- Make the `RETHUNK` patch not an RFC since the Rust compiler has
support for
it now.

- Update the names of the migitation config symbols, given the changes
at e.g.
commit 7b75782ffd82 ("x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS =>
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS").
