x86/retpoline: Make sure there are no unconverted return thunks due to KCSAN

Enabling CONFIG_KCSAN leads to unconverted, default return thunks to
remain after patching.

As David Kaplan describes in his debugging of the issue, it is caused by
a couple of KCSAN-generated constructors which aren't processed by
objtool:

"When KCSAN is enabled, GCC generates lots of constructor functions
named _sub_I_00099_0 which call __tsan_init and then return. The
returns in these are generally annotated normally by objtool and fixed
up at runtime. But objtool runs on vmlinux.o and vmlinux.o does not
include a couple of object files that are in vmlinux, like
init/version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o, both of which contain
_sub_I_00099_0 functions. As a result, the returns in these functions
are not annotated, and the panic occurs when we call one of them in
do_ctors and it uses the default return thunk.

This difference can be seen by counting the number of these functions in the object files:
$ objdump -d vmlinux.o|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:"
2601
$ objdump -d vmlinux|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:"
2603

If these functions are only run during kernel boot, there is no
speculation concern."

Fix it by disabling KCSAN on version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o
so the extra functions don't get generated. KASAN and GCOV are already
disabled for those files.

kbuild: Fix CFI failures with GCOV

With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to
each object file, and the functions are indirectly called during
boot. However, when code is injected to object files that are not
part of vmlinux.o, it's also not processed by objtool, which breaks
CFI hash randomization as the hashes in these files won't be
included in the .cfi_sites section and thus won't be randomized.

Similarly to commit 42633ed852de ("kbuild: Fix CFI hash
randomization with KASAN"), disable GCOV for .vmlinux.export.o and
init/version-timestamp.o to avoid emitting unnecessary functions to
object files that don't otherwise have executable code.

kbuild: Fix CFI hash randomization with KASAN

Clang emits a asan.module_ctor constructor to each object file
when KASAN is enabled, and these functions are indirectly called
in do_ctors. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler also emits a CFI
type hash before each address-taken global function so they can
pass indirect call checks.

However, in commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash
randomization"), x86 implemented boot time hash randomization,
which relies on the .cfi_sites section generated by objtool. As
objtool is run against vmlinux.o instead of individual object
files with X86_KERNEL_IBT (enabled by default), CFI types in
object files that are not part of vmlinux.o end up not being
included in .cfi_sites, and thus won't get randomized and trip
CFI when called.

Only .vmlinux.export.o and init/version-timestamp.o are linked
into vmlinux separately from vmlinux.o. As these files don't
contain any functions, disable KASAN for both of them to avoid
breaking hash randomization.

kbuild: rebuild .vmlinux.export.o when its prerequisite is updated

When include/linux/export-internal.h is updated, .vmlinux.export.o
must be rebuilt, but it does not happen because its rule is hidden
behind scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Move it out of the shell script, so that Make can see the dependency
between vmlinux and .vmlinux.export.o.

Move the vmlinux rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.
