x86/insn: Add a __ignore_sync_check__ marker

Add an explicit __ignore_sync_check__ marker which will be used to mark
lines which are supposed to be ignored by file synchronization check
scripts, its advantage being that it explicitly denotes such lines in
the code.

objtool: Make unwind hint definitions available to other architectures

Unwind hints are useful to provide objtool with information about stack
states in non-standard functions/code.

While the type of information being provided might be very arch
specific, the mechanism to provide the information can be useful for
other architectures.

Move the relevant unwint hint definitions for all architectures to
see.

objtool: Group headers to check in a single list

In order to support multiple architectures and potentially different

simpler to have all headers to check in a single list.

x86/static_call: Add inline static call implementation for x86-64

Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code
is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into
it's own section.

Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call
sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites
section.

During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call
directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is
then no longer used.

[peterz: merged trampolines, put trampoline in section]

objtool: Silence build output

The sync-check.sh script prints out the path due to a "cd -" at the end
of the script, even on silent builds. This isn't even needed, since the
script is executed in our build instead of sourced (so it won't change
the working directory of the surrounding build anyway).

Just remove the cd to make the build silent.

x86: xen: insn: Decode Xen and KVM emulate-prefix signature

Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

objtool: Ignore intentional differences for the x86 insn decoder

Since we need to build this in !x86, we need to explicitely use the x86
files, not things like asm/insn.h, so we intentionally differ from the
master copy in the kernel sources, add -I diff directives to ignore just
these differences when checking for drift.

The next patch will add the -I lines for those files.

objtool: Move x86 insn decoder to a common location

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

objtool: Move kernel headers/code sync check to a script
