[PATCH 6.12 184/184] selftest/x86/bugs: Add selftests for ITS

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

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

commit 7a9b709e7cc5ce1ffb84ce07bf6d157e1de758df upstream.

Below are the tests added for Indirect Target Selection (ITS):

- its_sysfs.py - Check if sysfs reflects the correct mitigation status for
  the mitigation selected via the kernel cmdline.

- its_permutations.py - tests mitigation selection with cmdline
  permutations with other bugs like spectre_v2 and retbleed.

- its_indirect_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in
  .retpoline_sites section that belong to lower half of cacheline are
  patched to ITS-safe thunk. Typical output looks like below:

  Site 49: function symbol: __x64_sys_restart_syscall+0x1f <0xffffffffbb1509af>
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff813509af:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5a8e0
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb1509af:    jmpq    *%rax
  #     ITS thunk NOT expected for site 49
  #     PASSED: Found *%rax
  #
  Site 50: function symbol: __resched_curr+0xb0 <0xffffffffbb181910>
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81381910:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5a8e0
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb181910:    jmp     0xffffffffc02000fc
  #     ITS thunk expected for site 50
  #     PASSED: Found 0xffffffffc02000fc -> jmpq *%rax <scattered-thunk?>

- its_ret_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in .return_sites
  section that belong to lower half of cacheline are patched to
  its_return_thunk. Typical output looks like below:

  Site 97: function symbol: collect_event+0x48 <0xffffffffbb007f18>
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81207f18:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5b500
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb007f18:    jmp     0xffffffffbbd5b560
  #     PASSED: Found jmp 0xffffffffbbd5b560 <its_return_thunk>
  #
  Site 98: function symbol: collect_event+0xa4 <0xffffffffbb007f74>
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81207f74:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5b500
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb007f74:    retq
  #     PASSED: Found retq

Some of these tests have dependency on tools like virtme-ng[1] and drgn[2].
When the dependencies are not met, the test will be skipped.
