Pull objtool fix and updates from Ingo Molnar:
"An ELF format fix for a section flags mismatch bug that breaks kernel
tooling such as kpatch-build.
The biggest change in this cycle is the new code to handle and rewrite
variable sized jump labels - which results in slightly tighter code
generation in hot paths, through the use of short(er) NOPs.
Also a number of cleanups and fixes, and a change to the generic
include/linux/compiler.h to handle a s390 GCC quirk"

objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing
When objtool creates the .altinstructions section, it sets the SHF_WRITE
flag to make the section writable -- unless the section had already been
previously created by the kernel. The mismatch between kernel-created
and objtool-created section flags can cause failures with external
tooling (kpatch-build). And the section doesn't need to be writable
anyway.
Make the section flags consistent with the kernel's.

Nathan reported that LLVM ThinLTO builds have a performance regression
with commit 25cf0d8aa2 ("objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing"). Sami
was quick to note that this is due to their use of -ffunction-sections.
As a result the .text section is small and basing the number of relocs
off of that no longer works. Instead have read_sections() compute the
sum of all SHF_EXECINSTR sections and use that.

It turns out that the compilers generate conditional branches to the
retpoline thunks like:
5d5: 0f 85 00 00 00 00 jne 5db <cpuidle_reflect+0x22>
5d7: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4
while the rewrite can only handle JMP/CALL to the thunks. The result
is the alternative wrecking the code. Make sure to skip writing the
alternatives for conditional branches.

When an ELF object uses extended symbol section indexes (IOW it has a
.symtab_shndx section), these must be kept in sync with the regular
symbol table (.symtab).
So for every new symbol we emit, make sure to also emit a
.symtab_shndx value to keep the arrays of equal size.
Note: since we're writing an UNDEF symbol, most GElf_Sym fields will
be 0 and we can repurpose one (st_size) to host the 0 for the xshndx
value.

Teach objtool about the the low bits in the struct static_key pointer.
That is, the low two bits of @key in:
struct jump_entry {
s32 code;
s32 target;
long key;
}
as found in the __jump_table section. Since @key has a relocation to
the variable (to be resolved by the linker), the low two bits will be
reflected in the relocation's addend.
As such, find the reloc and store the addend, such that we can access
these bits.

Currently objtool has 5 hashtables and sizes them 16 or 20 bits
depending on the --vmlinux argument.
However, a single side doesn't really work well for the 5 tables,
which among them, cover 3 different uses. Also, while vmlinux is
larger, there is still a very wide difference between a defconfig and
allyesconfig build, which again isn't optimally covered by a single
size.
Another aspect is the cost of elf_hash_init(), which for large tables
dominates the runtime for small input files. It turns out that all it
does it assign NULL, something that is required when using malloc().
However, when we allocate memory using mmap(), we're guaranteed to get
zero filled pages.
Therefore, rewrite the whole thing to:
1) use more dynamic sized tables, depending on the input file,
2) avoid the need for elf_hash_init() entirely by using mmap().
This speeds up a regular kernel build (100s to 98s for
x86_64-defconfig), and potentially dramatically speeds up vmlinux
processing.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Standardize the crypto asm code so that it looks like compiler-
generated code to objtool - so that it can understand it. This
enables unwinding from crypto asm code - and also fixes the last
known remaining objtool warnings for LTO and more.
- x86 decoder fixes: clean up and fix the decoder, and also extend it a
bit
- Misc fixes and cleanups

When the compiler emits: "CALL __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg" for an
indirect call, have objtool rewrite it to:
ALTERNATIVE "call __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg",
"call *%reg", ALT_NOT(X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE)
Additionally, in order to not emit endless identical
.altinst_replacement chunks, use a global symbol for them, see
__x86_indirect_alt_*.
This also avoids objtool from having to do code generation.

Provide infrastructure for architectures to rewrite/augment compiler
generated retpoline calls. Similar to what we do for static_call()s,
keep track of the instructions that are retpoline calls.
Use the same list_head, since a retpoline call cannot also be a
static_call.

Instead of manually calling elf_rebuild_reloc_section() on sections
we've called elf_add_reloc() on, have elf_write() DTRT.
This makes it easier to add random relocations in places without
carefully tracking when we're done and need to flush what section.
