  all that earth-shaking:

   - More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian
     translations.

     The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations
     are more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.

   - Some build-system performance improvements.

   - The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
     with the movement of what useful material that remained into
     other docs.

   - Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more
     useful suggestions.

   - A number of build-warning fixes

  Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more"

It turns out that while syscall_regfunc() does have an ENDBR when
generated, it gets sealed by objtool's .ibt_endbr_seal list.

Since the only text references to this function:

  $ git grep syscall_regfunc

  include/trace/events/syscalls.h:        syscall_regfunc, syscall_unregfunc

  kernel/tracepoint.c:int syscall_regfunc(void)

appear in the __tracepoint section which is excluded by objtool.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

removed the save/restore unwind hints because they were no longer
needed. Now they're going to be needed again so re-add them.

<title>objtool: Add entry UNRET validation</title>

<content type='text'>
Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

 - UNTRAIN_RET itself
 - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
 - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

Note: needs to be in a section distinct from Retpolines such that the
Retpoline RET substitution cannot possibly use immediate jumps.

ORC unwinding for zen_untrain_ret() and __x86_return_thunk() is a
little tricky but works due to the fact that zen_untrain_ret() doesn't
have any stack ops and as such will emit a single ORC entry at the
start (+0x3f).

Meanwhile, unwinding an IP, including the __x86_return_thunk() one
(+0x40) will search for the largest ORC entry smaller or equal to the
IP, these will find the one ORC entry (+0x3f) and all works.

  [ Alexandre: SVM part. ]
  [ bp: Build fix, massages. ]

Needed because zen_untrain_ret() will be called from noinstr code.

Also makes sense since the thunks MUST NOT contain instrumentation nor
be poked with dynamic instrumentation.
