Subject: [PATCH v4 06/21] cfi: Add type helper macros

With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, assembly functions called indirectly
from C code must be annotated with type identifiers to pass CFI
checking.  In order to make this easier, the compiler emits a
__kcfi_typeid_<function> symbol for each address-taken function
declaration in C, which contains the expected type identifier that
we can refer to in assembly code.

Add typed versions of SYM_FUNC_START and SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS, which
emit the type identifier before the function. Architectures that
support KCFI can define their own __CFI_TYPE macro to override the
default preamble format.

As an example, for the x86_64 blowfish_dec_blk function, the
compiler emits the following type symbol:

$ readelf -sW vmlinux | grep __kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk
121794: ffffffffef478db5     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT   ABS
	__kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk

And SYM_FUNC_START will generate the following preamble based on
the __CFI_TYPE definition for the architecture:

$ objdump -dr arch/x86/crypto/blowfish-x86_64-asm_64.o
     ...
00000000000003f7 <__cfi_blowfish_dec_blk>:
     3f7:       cc                      int3
     3f8:       cc                      int3
     3f9:       8b 04 25 00 00 00 00    mov    0x0,%eax
                        3fc: R_X86_64_32S __kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk
     400:       cc                      int3
     401:       cc                      int3

0000000000000402 <blowfish_dec_blk>:
     ...

Note that the address of all assembly functions annotated with
SYM_FUNC_START* must be taken in C code that's linked into the
binary or the missing __kcfi_typeid_ symbol will result in a linker
error with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG. If the code that contains the indirect
call is not always compiled in, __ADDRESSABLE(functionname) can be
used to ensure that the __kcfi_typeid_ symbol is emitted.
