Commit

  c89191ce67ef ("x86/entry: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs and remove the definition of SWAPGS")

missed one use case of SWAPGS in entry_INT80_compat(). Removing of
the SWAPGS macro led to asm just using "swapgs", as it is accepting
instructions in capital letters, too.

This in turn leads to splats in Xen PV guests like:

  [   36.145223] general protection fault, maybe for address 0x2d: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
  [   36.145794] CPU: 2 PID: 1847 Comm: ld-linux.so.2 Not tainted 5.19.1-1-default #1 \

  [   36.148126] RIP: e030:entry_INT80_compat+0x3/0xa3

Fix that by open coding this single instance of the SWAPGS macro.

<title>x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments</title>

Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple
instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form:

  ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/pmjump.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
  ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
  ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable.  Because
there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources
have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the
.note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command
line flag --noexecstack.  Or we can simply tell the linker the
production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as
--noexecstack.

LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't
strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt
to be explicit here for all linkers IMO.  --no-warn-rwx-segments is
currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release,
so it's wrapped in an ld-option check.

While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use
permissions from ELF segments.

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.

UNTRAIN_RET is not needed in native_irq_return_ldt because RET
untraining has already been done at this point.

In addition, when the RETBleed mitigation is IBPB, UNTRAIN_RET clobbers
several registers (AX, CX, DX) so here it trashes user values which are
in these registers.

Commit

  ee774dac0da1 ("x86/entry: Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry()")

moved PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry, into its own function, in
part to avoid calling error_entry() for XenPV.

However, commit

  7c81c0c9210c ("x86/entry: Avoid very early RET")

had to change that because the 'ret' was too early and moved it into
idtentry, bloating the text size, since idtentry is expanded for every
exception vector.

However, with the advent of xen_error_entry() in commit

  d147553b64bad ("x86/xen: Add UNTRAIN_RET")

it became possible to remove PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS from idtentry, back
into *error_entry().

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

<title>x86/speculation: Fix RSB filling with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n</title>

If a kernel is built with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, but the user still wants
to mitigate Spectre v2 using IBRS or eIBRS, the RSB filling will be
silently disabled.

There's nothing retpoline-specific about RSB buffer filling.  Remove the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE guards around it.

<title>objtool: Add entry UNRET validation</title>

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

 - UNTRAIN_RET itself
 - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
 - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET
