The generic pass allows any architecture to take advantage of kCFI but the expansion of these bundles in the middle end can mess with optimizations that may turn indirect calls into direct calls when the call target is known at compile time, such as after inlining. Add __nocfi_generic, dependent on an architecture selecting CONFIG_ARCH_USES_CFI_GENERIC_LLVM_PASS, to disable kCFI bundle generation in functions where only the generic kCFI pass may cause problems.

For x86, the custom 64-bit target enables kcfi. The HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS_RUSTC config option that allows CFI_CLANG to be used in combination with RUST does not check whether the rustc target supports kcfi. This breaks the build on riscv (and presumably 32-bit arm) when CFI_CLANG and RUST are enabled at the same time. Ordinarily, a rustc-option check would be used to detect target support but unfortunately rustc-option filters out the target for reasons given in commit 46e24a545cdb4 ("rust: kasan/kbuild: fix missing flags on first build"). As a result, if the host supports kcfi but the target does not, e.g. when building for riscv on x86_64, the build would remain broken. Instead, make HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS_RUSTC depend on the only two architectures where the target used supports it to fix the build.

In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

They can be defined in a generic header. That allows adding generic TIF bits without chasing a gazillion of architecture headers, which is again a unjustified burden on anyone who works on generic infrastructure as it always needs a boat load of work to keep existing architecture code working when adding new stuff. While it is not as horrible as the ignorance of the generic entry infrastructure, it is a welcome mechanism to make architecture people rethink their approach of just leaching generic improvements into architecture code and thereby making it accumulatingly harder to maintain and improve generic code. It's about time that this changes. Provide the infrastructure and split the TIF space in half, 16 generic and 16 architecture specific bits. This could probably be extended by TIF_SINGLESTEP and BLOCKSTEP, but those are only used in architecture specific code. So leave them alone for now.
