Objtool has a fairly singular focus. It runs on object files and does
validations and transformations which can be combined in various ways.
The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to
combine and remove options.
Remove the "check" and "orc" subcommands in favor of a more traditional
cmdline option model. This makes it much more flexible to use, and
easier to port individual features to other arches.

Split the existing options into two groups: actions, which actually do
something; and options, which modify the actions in some way.
Also there's no need to have short flags for all the non-action options.
Reserve short flags for the more important actions.
While at it:
- change a few of the short flags to be more intuitive
- make option descriptions more consistently descriptive
- sort options in the source like they are when printed
- move options to a global struct

Objtool's function fallthrough detection only works on C objects.
The distinction between C and assembly objects no longer makes sense
with objtool running on vmlinux.o.
Now that copy_user_64.S has been fixed up, and an objtool sibling call
detection bug has been fixed, the asm code is in "compliance" and this
hack is no longer needed. Remove it.

Intel IBT requires that every indirect JMP/CALL targets an ENDBR
instructions, failing this #CP happens and we die. Similarly, all
exception entries should be ENDBR.
Find all code relocations and ensure they're either an ENDBR
instruction or ANNOTATE_NOENDBR. For the exceptions look for
UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at sym+0 not being ENDBR.

Intel IBT requires the target of any indirect CALL or JMP instruction
to be the ENDBR instruction; optionally it allows those two
instructions to have a NOTRACK prefix in order to avoid this
requirement.
The kernel will not enable the use of NOTRACK, as such any occurence
of it in compiler generated code should be flagged.
Teach objtool to Decode ENDBR instructions and WARN about NOTRACK
prefixes.

There's a fun implementation detail on linking STB_WEAK symbols. When
the linker combines two translation units, where one contains a weak
function and the other an override for it. It simply strips the
STB_WEAK symbol from the symbol table, but doesn't actually remove the
code.
The result is that when objtool is ran in a whole-archive kind of way,
it will encounter *heaps* of unused (and unreferenced) code. All
rudiments of weak functions.
Additionally, when a weak implementation is split into a .cold
subfunction that .cold symbol is left in place, even though completely
unused.
Teach objtool to ignore such rudiments by searching for symbol holes;
that is, code ranges that fall outside the given symbol bounds.
Specifically, ignore a sequence of unreachable instruction iff they
occupy a single hole, additionally ignore any .cold subfunctions
referenced.
Both ld.bfd and ld.lld behave like this. LTO builds otoh can (and do)
properly DCE weak functions.

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Get rid of all the .fixup sections because this generates
misleading/wrong stacktraces and confuse RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and
LIVEPATCH as the backtrace misses the function which is being fixed
up.
- Add Straight Line Speculation mitigation support which uses a new
compiler switch -mharden-sls= which sticks an INT3 after a RET or an
indirect branch in order to block speculation after them. Reportedly,
CPUs do speculate behind such insns.
- The usual set of cleanups and improvements

Teach objtool to turn instrumentation required for memory barrier
modeling into nops in noinstr text.
The __tsan_func_entry/exit calls are still emitted by compilers even
with the __no_sanitize_thread attribute. The memory barrier
instrumentation will be inserted explicitly (without compiler help), and
thus needs to also explicitly be removed.

Teach objtool to validate the straight-line-speculation constraints:
- speculation trap after indirect calls
- speculation trap after RET
Notable: when an instruction is annotated RETPOLINE_SAFE, indicating
speculation isn't a problem, also don't care about sls for that
instruction.

Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.
However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.
In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:
bf87: 48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x0(%rip)
bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f>
bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_ops+0x268
There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/
Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.
This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.
Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

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.
