cfi: encode cfi normalized integers + kasan/gcov bug in Kconfig

Browse Source 
There is a bug in the LLVM implementation of KASAN and GCOV that makes
these options incompatible with the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option.

The bug has already been fixed in llvm/clang [1] and rustc [2]. However,
Kconfig currently has no way to gate features on the LLVM version inside
rustc, so we cannot write down a precise `depends on` clause in this
case. Instead, a `def_bool` option is defined for whether
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is available, and its default value is set
to false when GCOV or KASAN are turned on. End users using a patched
clang/rustc can turn on the HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option
directly to override this.

An alternative solution is to inspect a binary created by clang or rustc
to see whether the faulty CFI tags are in the binary. This would be a
precise check, but it would involve hard-coding the *hashed* version of
the CFI tag. This is because there's no way to get clang or rustc to
output the unhased version of the CFI tag. Relying on the precise
hashing algorithm using by CFI seems too fragile, so I have not pursued
this option. Besides, this kind of hack is exactly what lead to the LLVM
bug in the first place.

If the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option is used without CONFIG_RUST,
then we actually can perform a precise check today: just compare the
clang version number. This works since clang and llvm are always updated
in lockstep. However, encoding this in Kconfig would give the
HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option a dependency on CONFIG_RUST,
which is not possible as the reverse dependency already exists.

HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is defined to be a `def_bool` instead
of `bool` to avoid asking end users whether they want to turn on the
option. Turning it on explicitly is something only experts should do, so
making it hard to do so is not an issue.

I added a `depends on CFI_CLANG` clause to the new Kconfig option. I'm
not sure whether that makes sense or not, but it doesn't seem to make a
big difference.

In a future kernel release, I would like to add a Kconfig option similar
to CLANG_VERSION/RUSTC_VERSION for inspecting the version of the LLVM
inside rustc. Once that feature lands, this logic will be replaced with
a precise version check. This check is not being introduced here to
avoid introducing a new _VERSION constant in a fix.

Is CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS supported with the set of compilers

This option defaults to false if GCOV or KASAN is enabled, as there is
an LLVM bug that makes normalized integers tags incompatible with
KASAN and GCOV. Kconfig currently does not have the infrastructure to
detect whether your rustc compiler contains the fix for this bug, so
it is assumed that it doesn't. If your compiler has the fix, you can
explicitly enable this option in your config file. The Kconfig logic
needed to detect this will be added in a future kernel release.
