Peter Zijlstra 87c87ecd00 bpf,x86: Respect X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE*
Current BPF codegen doesn't respect X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE* flags and
unconditionally emits a thunk call, this is sub-optimal and doesn't
match the regular, compiler generated, code.

Update the i386 JIT to emit code equal to what the compiler emits for
the regular kernel text (IOW. a plain THUNK call).

Update the x86_64 JIT to emit code similar to the result of compiler
and kernel rewrites as according to X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE* flags.
Inlining RETPOLINE_AMD (lfence; jmp *%reg) and !RETPOLINE (jmp *%reg),
while doing a THUNK call for RETPOLINE.

This removes the hard-coded retpoline thunks and shrinks the generated
code. Leaving a single retpoline thunk definition in the kernel.

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.
