objtool: Fix X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative handling
For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.
However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.
Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.
Fixes the following warnings:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8ec: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8f1: unreachable instruction
[ mingo: Fix up conflicts with recent x86 changes. ]
