static_call,x86: Robustify trampoline patching

Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify
those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching
random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead.

These bytes decode as:

d: 53 push %rbx
e: 43 54 rex.XB push %r12

And happen to spell "SCT".

Pull x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

- Turn the stack canary into a normal __percpu variable on 32-bit which
gets rid of the LAZY_GS stuff and a lot of code.

- Add an insn_decode() API which all users of the instruction decoder
should preferrably use. Its goal is to keep the details of the
instruction decoder away from its users and simplify and streamline
how one decodes insns in the kernel. Convert its users to it.

- kprobes improvements and fixes

- Set the maximum DIE per package variable on Hygon

- Rip out the dynamic NOP selection and simplify all the machinery
around selecting NOPs. Use the simplified NOPs in objtool now too.

- Add Xeon Sapphire Rapids to list of CPUs that support PPIN

- Simplify the retpolines by folding the entire thing into an
alternative now that objtool can handle alternatives with stack ops.
Then, have objtool rewrite the call to the retpoline with the
alternative which then will get patched at boot time.

- Document Intel uarch per models in intel-family.h

- Make Sub-NUMA Clustering topology the default and Cluster-on-Die the
exception on Intel.

x86: Remove dynamic NOP selection

This ensures that a NOP is a NOP and not a random other instruction that
is also a NOP. It allows simplification of dynamic code patching that
wants to verify existing code before writing new instructions (ftrace,
jump_label, static_call, etc..).

Differentiating on NOPs is not a feature.

This pessimises 32bit (DONTCARE) and 32bit on 64bit CPUs (CARELESS).
32bit is not a performance target.

Everything x86_64 since AMD K10 (2007) and Intel IvyBridge (2012) is
fine with using NOPL (as opposed to prefix NOP). And per FEATURE_NOPL
being required for x86_64, all x86_64 CPUs can use NOPL. So stop
caring about NOPs, simplify things and get on with life.

[ The problem seems to be that some uarchs can only decode NOPL on a
single front-end port while others have severe decode penalties for
excessive prefixes. All modern uarchs can handle both, except Atom,
which has prefix penalties. ]

[ Also, much doubt you can actually measure any of this on normal
workloads. ]

After this, FEATURE_NOPL is unused except for required-features for
x86_64. FEATURE_K8 is only used for PTI.

[ bp: Kernel build measurements showed ~0.3s slowdown on Sandybridge
which is hardly a slowdown. Get rid of X86_FEATURE_K7, while at it. ]
