[PATCH 5.10 125/148] x86/retbleed: Add fine grained Kconfig knobs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit f43b9876e857c739d407bc56df288b0ebe1a9164 upstream.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
[cascardo: there is no CONFIG_OBJTOOL]
[cascardo: objtool calling and option parsing has changed]
Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@canonical.com>
[bwh: Backported to 5.10:
 - In scripts/Makefile.build, add the objtool option with an ifdef
   block, same as for other options
 - Adjust filename, context]
