x86/retpoline: Ensure default return thunk isn't used at runtime

Make sure the default return thunk is not used after all return
instructions have been patched by the alternatives because the default
return thunk is insufficient when it comes to mitigating Retbleed or
SRSO.

Fix based on an earlier version by David Kaplan <david.kaplan@amd.com>.

The following commit:

ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost")

deprecated <asm/export.h>, which is now a wrapper of <linux/export.h>.

Use <linux/export.h> in *.S as well as in *.c files.

After all the <asm/export.h> lines are replaced, <asm/export.h> and
<asm-generic/export.h> will be removed.

x86/entry: Move thunk restore code into thunk functions

There's no need for both thunk functions to jump to the same shared
thunk restore code which lives outside the thunk function boundaries.
It disrupts i-cache locality and confuses objtool. Keep it simple by
keeping each thunk's restore code self-contained within the function.

Fixes a bunch of false positive "missing __noreturn" warnings like:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_arch_prctl_common+0xf4: preempt_schedule_thunk() is missing a __noreturn annotation

x86/entry: Build thunk_$(BITS) only if CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y

With CONFIG_PREEMPTION disabled, arch/x86/entry/thunk_$(BITS).o becomes
an empty object file.

With some old versions of binutils (i.e., 2.35.90.20210113-1ubuntu1) the
GNU assembler doesn't generate a symbol table for empty object files and
objtool fails with the following error when a valid symbol table cannot
be found:

arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol table

To prevent this from happening, build thunk_$(BITS).o only if
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.

# 5e6dca82 12-Jan-2021 Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>

x86/entry: Emit a symbol for register restoring thunk

Arnd found a randconfig that produces the warning:

arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at
offset 0x3e

when building with LLVM_IAS=1 (Clang's integrated assembler). Josh
notes:

With the LLVM assembler not generating section symbols, objtool has no
way to reference this code when it generates ORC unwinder entries,
because this code is outside of any ELF function.

The limitation now being imposed by objtool is that all code must be
contained in an ELF symbol. And .L symbols don't create such symbols.

So basically, you can use an .L symbol *inside* a function or a code
segment, you just can't use the .L symbol to contain the code using a
SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.

Fangrui notes that this optimization is helpful for reducing image size
when compiling with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. I have
observed on the order of tens of thousands of symbols for the kernel
images built with those flags.

A patch has been authored against GNU binutils to match this behavior
of not generating unused section symbols ([1]), so this will
also become a problem for users of GNU binutils once they upgrade to 2.36.

Omit the .L prefix on a label so that the assembler will emit an entry
into the symbol table for the label, with STB_LOCAL binding. This
enables objtool to generate proper unwind info here with LLVM_IAS=1 or
GNU binutils 2.36+.

x86/asm/entry: Annotate THUNKs

Place SYM_*_START_NOALIGN and SYM_*_END around the THUNK macro body.
Preserve @function by FUNC (64bit) and CODE (32bit). Given it was not
marked as aligned, use NOALIGN.

The result:
Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0000 28 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 trace_hardirqs_on_thunk
001c 28 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 trace_hardirqs_off_thunk
0038 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 lockdep_sys_exit_thunk
0050 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 ___preempt_schedule
0068 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 ___preempt_schedule_notra

The annotation of .L_restore does not generate anything (at the moment).
Here, it just serves documentation purposes (as opening and closing
brackets of functions).

x86/entry/64: Fix stack return address retrieval in thunk

With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled, a thunk can pass a bad return address
value to the called function. '9*8(%rsp)' actually gets the frame
pointer, not the return address.

The only users of the 'put_ret_addr_in_rdi' option are two functions
which trace the enabling and disabling of interrupts, so this bug can
result in bad debug or tracing information with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.

Fix this by implementing the suggestion of Linus: explicitly push
the frame pointer all the time and constify the stack offsets that
way. This is both correct and easier to read.

x86/asm/entry: Create stack frames in thunk functions

Thunk functions are callable non-leaf functions that don't honor
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces. Also they
aren't annotated as ELF callable functions which can confuse tooling.

Create stack frames for them when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled and
add the ELF function type.
