Subject: [PATCH 5/9] x86: Add -mindirect-branch= (documentation)

Add -mindirect-branch= option to convert indirect call and jump to call
and return thunks.  The default is 'keep', which keeps indirect call and
jump unmodified.  'thunk' converts indirect call and jump to call and
return thunk.  'thunk-inline' converts indirect call and jump to inlined
call and return thunk.  'thunk-extern' converts indirect call and jump to
external call and return thunk provided in a separate object file.  You
can control this behavior for a specific function by using the function
attribute indirect_branch.

2 kinds of thunks are geneated.  Memory thunk where the function address
is at the top of the stack:

__x86_indirect_thunk:
	call L2
L1:
	pause
	lfence
	jmp L1
L2:
	lea 8(%rsp), %rsp|lea 4(%esp), %esp
	ret

Indirect jmp via memory, "jmp mem", is converted to

	push memory
	jmp __x86_indirect_thunk

Indirect call via memory, "call mem", is converted to

	jmp L2
L1:
	push [mem]
	jmp __x86_indirect_thunk
L2:
	call L1

Register thunk where the function address is in a register, reg:

__x86_indirect_thunk_reg:
	call	L2
L1:
	pause
	lfence
	jmp	L1
L2:
	movq	%reg, (%rsp)|movl    %reg, (%esp)
	ret

where reg is one of (r|e)ax, (r|e)dx, (r|e)cx, (r|e)bx, (r|e)si, (r|e)di,
(r|e)bp, r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14 and r15.

Indirect jmp via register, "jmp reg", is converted to

	jmp __x86_indirect_thunk_reg

Indirect call via register, "call reg", is converted to

	call __x86_indirect_thunk_reg

[UBUNTU NOTES: Updated for gcc-5.4 to include defines for
 FIRST_INT_REG, LAST_INT_REG, and LEGACY_INT_REGNO_P as defined in
 https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=222269.
 Dropped indirect-thunk-5.c, indirect-thunk-6.c,
 indirect-thunk-bnd-3.c, indirect-thunk-bnd-4.c,
 indirect-thunk-extern-5.c, indirect-thunk-extern-6.c,
 indirect-thunk-inline-5.c, and indirect-thunk-inline-6.c tests due
 to gcc 5.4 and earlier not supporting the -fno-plt option.
