x86: Add straight-line-speculation mitigation
Make use of an upcoming GCC feature to mitigate straight-line-speculation for x86: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:53a643f8568067d7700a9f2facc8ba39974973d3 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323 It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11. Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool validation. Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to: text data bss dec hex filename 22267751 6933356 2011368 31212475 1dc43bb defconfig-build/vmlinux 22804126 6933356 1470696 31208178 1dc32f2 defconfig-build/vmlinux.sls Or roughly 2.4% additional text.
