Peter Zijlstra 7117f16bf4 objtool: Fix ORC vs alternatives 
Jann reported that (for instance) entry_64.o:general_protection has
very odd ORC data:

  0000000000000f40 <general_protection>:
  #######sp:sp+8 bp:(und) type:iret end:0
    f40:       90                      nop
  #######sp:(und) bp:(und) type:call end:0
    f41:       90                      nop
    f42:       90                      nop
  #######sp:sp+8 bp:(und) type:iret end:0
    f43:       e8 a8 01 00 00          callq  10f0 <error_entry>
  #######sp:sp+0 bp:(und) type:regs end:0
    f48:       f6 84 24 88 00 00 00    testb  $0x3,0x88(%rsp)
    f4f:       03
    f50:       74 00                   je     f52 <general_protection+0x12>
    f52:       48 89 e7                mov    %rsp,%rdi
    f55:       48 8b 74 24 78          mov    0x78(%rsp),%rsi
    f5a:       48 c7 44 24 78 ff ff    movq   $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp)
    f61:       ff ff
    f63:       e8 00 00 00 00          callq  f68 <general_protection+0x28>
    f68:       e9 73 02 00 00          jmpq   11e0 <error_exit>
  #######sp:(und) bp:(und) type:call end:0
    f6d:       0f 1f 00                nopl   (%rax)

Note the entry at 0xf41. Josh found this was the result of commit:

  764eef4b10 ("objtool: Rewrite alt->skip_orig")

Due to the early return in validate_branch() we no longer set
insn->cfi of the original instruction stream (the NOPs at 0xf41 and
0xf42) and we'll end up with the above weirdness.

In other discussions we realized alternatives should be ORC invariant;
that is, due to there being only a single ORC table, it must be valid
for all alternatives. The easiest way to ensure this is to not allow
any stack modifications in alternatives.

When we enforce this latter observation, we get the property that the
whole alternative must have the same CFI, which we can employ to fix
the former report.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
