Peter Zijlstra 7508500900 x86/alternative: Implement .retpoline_sites support
Rewrite retpoline thunk call sites to be indirect calls for
spectre_v2=off. This ensures spectre_v2=off is as near to a
RETPOLINE=n build as possible.

This is the replacement for objtool writing alternative entries to
ensure the same and achieves feature-parity with the previous
approach.

One noteworthy feature is that it relies on the thunks to be in
machine order to compute the register index.

Specifically, this does not yet address the Jcc __x86_indirect_thunk_*
calls generated by clang, a future patch will add this.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
