Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] kcfi: Prepare for GCC support

v2:
 - integrate "transitional" Kconfig patch[2] (nathan, randy, miguel)
 - add arm32 KCFI trap handler
 - split pr_info changes (nathan)
 - clean up my broken SoB (peter)
 - remove Clang from CONFIG_CFI help (jeff)
 - add r-b (linus)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250825141316.work.967-kees@kernel.org/

Hi,

With KCFI support in GCC coming[1], we need to make some (relatively
small) changes in the kernel to deal with it:

- move __nocfi out of compilers-clang.h (so GCC can see it too)
- add cfi=debug so future Kees can find fineibt breakage easier
- remove problematic __noinitretpoline usage
- rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (otherwise it is quite confusing)

If I can get some Acks, I will carry this in the hardening tree, unless
someone else would like to take it (perhaps tip).

Thanks!

-Kees
