Objtool can figure out that some \cfunc()s are noreturn and then
complains about certain instances having unreachable tails:

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add new environment variables, USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS to allow
   additional flags to be passed to user-space programs.

 - Fix missing fflush() bugs in Kconfig and fixdep

 - Fix a minor bug in the comment format of the .config file

 - Make kallsyms ignore llvm's local labels, .L*

 - Fix UAPI compile-test for cross-compiling with Clang

 - Extend the LLVM= syntax to support LLVM=&lt;suffix&gt; form for using a
   particular version of LLVm, and LLVM=&lt;prefix&gt; form for using custom
   LLVM in a particular directory path.

 - Clean up Makefiles

* tag 'kbuild-v5.18-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  kbuild: Make $(LLVM) more flexible
  kbuild: add --target to correctly cross-compile UAPI headers with Clang
  fixdep: use fflush() and ferror() to ensure successful write to files
  arch: syscalls: simplify uapi/kapi directory creation
  usr/include: replace extra-y with always-y
  certs: simplify empty certs creation in certs/Makefile
  certs: include certs/signing_key.x509 unconditionally
  kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'
  kconfig: fix missing '# end of' for empty menu
  kconfig: add fflush() before ferror() check
  kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)
  kbuild: Add environment variables for userprogs flags
  kbuild: unify cmd_copy and cmd_shipped

Commit 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than error if
binutils too old") added a small test in arch/x86/Makefile because
binutils 2.22 or newer is needed to properly support elf32-x86-64. This
check is no longer necessary, as the minimum supported version of
binutils is 2.23, which is enforced at configuration time with
scripts/min-tool-version.sh.

Remove this check and replace all uses of CONFIG_X86_X32 with
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI, as two symbols are no longer necessary.

[nathan: Rebase, fix up a few places where CONFIG_X86_X32 was still
         used, and simplify commit message to satisfy -tip requirements]

Kernel entry points should be having ENDBR on for IBT configs.

The SYSCALL entry points are found through taking their respective
address in order to program them in the MSRs, while the exception
entry points are found through UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS.

The rule is that any UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at sym+0 should have an
ENDBR, see the later objtool ibt validation patch.

Even though Xen currently doesn't advertise IBT, prepare for when it
will eventually do so and sprinkle the ENDBR dust accordingly.

Even though most of the entry points are IRET like, the CPL0
Hypervisor can set WAIT-FOR-ENDBR and demand ENDBR at these sites.

By doing an early rewrite of 'jmp native_iret` in
restore_regs_and_return_to_kernel() we can get rid of the last
INTERRUPT_RETURN user and paravirt_iret.
