To enable the new Clang randstruct implementation[1], move
randstruct into its own Makefile and split the CFLAGS from
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS into RANDSTRUCT_CFLAGS.

<title>x86: Fix return value of __setup handlers</title>
<updated>2022-05-04T14:47:57Z</updated>
<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=12441ccdf5e2f5a01a46e344976cbbd3d46845c9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:12441ccdf5e2f5a01a46e344976cbbd3d46845c9</id>
<content type='text'>
__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled. A return
of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown kernel
parameter and added to init's (limited) argument (no '=') or environment
(with '=') strings. So return 1 from these x86 __setup handlers.

Examples:

  Unknown kernel command line parameters "apicpmtimer
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8 vdso=1 ring3mwait=disable", will be
    passed to user space.

  Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
     apicpmtimer
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8
     vdso=1
     ring3mwait=disable

Fixes: 77b52b4c5c66 ("x86: add "debugpat" boot option")

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

<id>urn:sha1:a41f5b78ac5ba65986b31ddc6325a0b8cc8b8864</id>
<content type='text'>
The -nostdlib option requests the compiler to not use the standard
system startup files or libraries when linking. It is effective only
when $(CC) is used as a linker driver.

Since

  379d98ddf413 ("x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link")

$(LD) is directly used, hence -nostdlib is unneeded.

Replace all ret/retq instructions with RET in preparation of making
RET a macro. Since AS is case insensitive it's a big no-op without
RET defined.
