[ Upstream commit 1f9a1b74942485a0a29e7c4a9a9f2fe8aea17766 ]
The JMP_NOSPEC macro branches to __x86_retpoline_*() rather than the
__x86_indirect_thunk_*() wrappers used by C code. Detect jumps to
__x86_retpoline_*() as retpoline dynamic jumps.
Presumably this doesn't trigger a user-visible bug. I only found it
when testing vmlinux.o validation.

The way to identify jump tables and retrieve all the data necessary to
handle the different execution branches is not the same on all
architectures. In order to be able to add other architecture support,
define an arch-dependent function to process jump-tables.

[J.T.: Move arm64 bits out of this patch,
Have only one function to find the start of the jump table,
for now assume that the jump table format will be the same as
x86]

As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of
relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether
arch specific kernel code handles it.
So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for
the alternative section should be accepted.

Some alternatives associated with a specific feature need to be treated
in a special way. Since the features and how to treat them vary from one
architecture to another, move the special case handling to arch specific
code.
