KVM: SVM: move MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL save/restore to assembly

Restoration of the host IA32_SPEC_CTRL value is probably too late
with respect to the return thunk training sequence.

With respect to the user/kernel boundary, AMD says, "If software chooses
to toggle STIBP (e.g., set STIBP on kernel entry, and clear it on kernel
exit), software should set STIBP to 1 before executing the return thunk
training sequence." I assume the same requirements apply to the guest/host
boundary. The return thunk training sequence is in vmenter.S, quite close
to the VM-exit. On hosts without V_SPEC_CTRL, however, the host's
IA32_SPEC_CTRL value is not restored until much later.

To avoid this, move the restoration of host SPEC_CTRL to assembly and,
for consistency, move the restoration of the guest SPEC_CTRL as well.
This is not particularly difficult, apart from some care to cover both
32- and 64-bit, and to share code between SEV-ES and normal vmentry.

KVM: SVM: restore host save area from assembly

Allow access to the percpu area via the GS segment base, which is
needed in order to access the saved host spec_ctrl value. In linux-next
FILL_RETURN_BUFFER also needs to access percpu data.

For simplicity, the physical address of the save area is added to struct
svm_cpu_data.

KVM: SVM: move guest vmsave/vmload back to assembly

It is error-prone that code after vmexit cannot access percpu data
because GSBASE has not been restored yet. It forces MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
save/restore to happen very late, after the predictor untraining
sequence, and it gets in the way of return stack depth tracking
(a retbleed mitigation that is in linux-next as of 2022-11-09).

As a first step towards fixing that, move the VMCB VMSAVE/VMLOAD to
assembly, essentially undoing commit fb0c4a4fee5a ("KVM: SVM: move
VMLOAD/VMSAVE to C code", 2021-03-15). The reason for that commit was
that it made it simpler to use a different VMCB for VMLOAD/VMSAVE versus
VMRUN; but that is not a big hassle anymore thanks to the kvm-asm-offsets
machinery and other related cleanups.

The idea on how to number the exception tables is stolen from
a prototype patch by Peter Zijlstra.

KVM: SVM: retrieve VMCB from assembly

Continue moving accesses to struct vcpu_svm to vmenter.S. Reducing the
number of arguments limits the chance of mistakes due to different
registers used for argument passing in 32- and 64-bit ABIs; pushing the
VMCB argument and almost immediately popping it into a different
register looks pretty weird.

32-bit ABI is not a concern for __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run() which is 64-bit
only; however, it will soon need @svm to save/restore SPEC_CTRL so stay
consistent with __svm_vcpu_run() and let them share the same prototype.

No functional change intended.

KVM: SVM: replace regs argument of __svm_vcpu_run() with vcpu_svm

Since registers are reachable through vcpu_svm, and we will
need to access more fields of that struct, pass it instead
of the regs[] array.

KVM: x86: use a separate asm-offsets.c file

This already removes an ugly #include "" from asm-offsets.c, but
especially it avoids a future error when trying to define asm-offsets
for KVM's svm/svm.h header.

This would not work for kernel/asm-offsets.c, because svm/svm.h
includes kvm_cache_regs.h which is not in the include path when
compiling asm-offsets.c. The problem is not there if the .c file is
in arch/x86/kvm.
