Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        SYM_FUNC_END(name)

        SYM_CODE_START(name)
        SYM_CODE_END(name)

        SYM_DATA_START(name)
        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)

   - Misc other changes, cleanups and smaller fixes"

<title>ubsan, x86: Annotate and allow __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds() in uaccess regions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9a50dcaf0416a43e1fe411dc61a99c8333c90119</id>
<content type='text'>
The new check_zeroed_user() function uses variable shifts inside of a
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() section and that results in GCC
emitting __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds() calls, even though
through value range analysis it would be able to see that the UB in
question is impossible.

Annotate and whitelist this UBSAN function; continued use of
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() will undoubtedly result in
further uses of function.

<title>x86: xen: insn: Decode Xen and KVM emulate-prefix signature</title>

<content type='text'>
Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

<title>objtool: add kunit_try_catch_throw to the noreturn list</title>

<id>urn:sha1:33adf80f5b52e3f7c55ad66ffcaaff93c6888aaa</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the following warning seen on GCC 7.3:
  kunit/test-test.o: warning: objtool: kunit_test_unsuccessful_try() falls through to next function kunit_test_catch()

kunit_try_catch_throw is a function added in the following patch in this
series; it allows KUnit, a unit testing framework for the kernel, to
bail out of a broken test. As a consequence, it is a new __noreturn
function that objtool thinks is broken (as seen above). So fix this
warning by adding kunit_try_catch_throw to objtool's noreturn list.

<content type='text'>
Explicitly check kvm_rebooting in kvm_spurious_fault() prior to invoking
BUG(), as opposed to assuming the caller has already done so.  Letting
kvm_spurious_fault() be called "directly" will allow VMX to better
optimize its low level assembly flows.

As a happy side effect, kvm_spurious_fault() no longer needs to be
marked as a dead end since it doesn't unconditionally BUG().

  The perf tooling side has been very busy in this cycle, with over 300
  commits. This is an incomplete high-level summary of the many
  improvements done by over 30 developers:

   - Lots of updates to the following tools:

      'perf c2c'

      'perf report'
      'perf script'
      'perf test'

     proliferation of x86 instruction decoder libraries.

   - Vendor event updates for Intel and PowerPC CPUs,

   - Updates to hardware tracing tooling for ARM and Intel CPUs,

   - ... and lots of other changes and cleanups - see the shortlog and
     Git log for details"

If the build user has the CFLAGS variable set in their environment,
objtool blindly appends to it, which can cause unexpected behavior.

Clobber CFLAGS to ensure consistent objtool compilation behavior.

Since we need to build this in !x86, we need to explicitely use the x86
files, not things like asm/insn.h, so we intentionally differ from the
master copy in the kernel sources, add -I diff directives to ignore just
these differences when checking for drift.
