Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.
What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.
When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.
This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/
That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
whole mechanism
- Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
hash to validate them
- Other misc fixes and cleanups

sm3_transform_avx() is called via indirect function calls. Therefore it
needs to use SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START instead of SYM_FUNC_START to cause its
type hash to be emitted when the kernel is built with
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y. Otherwise, the code crashes with a CFI failure (if
the compiler didn't happen to optimize out the indirect call).

SYM_FUNC_START*() and friends already imply alignment, remove custom
alignment hacks to make code consistent. This prepares for future
function call ABI changes.
Also, with having pushed the function alignment to 16 bytes, this
custom alignment is completely superfluous.
( this code couldn't seem to make up it's mind about what alignment it
actually wanted, randomly mixing 8 and 16 bytes )

This patch adds AVX assembly accelerated implementation of SM3 secure
hash algorithm. From the benchmark data, compared to pure software
implementation sm3-generic, the performance increase is up to 38%.
The main algorithm implementation based on SM3 AES/BMI2 accelerated
work by libgcrypt at:
https://gnupg.org/software/libgcrypt/index.html
Benchmark on Intel i5-6200U 2.30GHz, performance data of two
implementations, pure software sm3-generic and sm3-avx acceleration.
The data comes from the 326 mode and 422 mode of tcrypt. The abscissas
are different lengths of per update. The data is tabulated and the
unit is Mb/s:
update-size | 16 64 256 1024 2048 4096 8192
------------+-------------------------------------------------------
sm3-generic | 105.97 129.60 182.12 189.62 188.06 193.66 194.88
sm3-avx | 119.87 163.05 244.44 260.92 257.60 264.87 265.88
