f94909ceb1 x86: Prepare asm files for straight-line-speculation
Replace all ret/retq instructions with RET in preparation of making
RET a macro. Since AS is case insensitive it's a big no-op without
RET defined.

  find arch/x86/ -name \*.S | while read file
  do
	sed -i 's/\<ret[q]*\>/RET/' $file
  done

92203b0280 x86: remove always-defined CONFIG_AS_SSSE3
CONFIG_AS_SSSE3 was introduced by commit 75aaf4c3e6 ("x86/raid6:
correctly check for assembler capabilities").

We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5 ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").

I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the
binutils 2.21 assembler and also by LLVM integrated assembler.

Remove CONFIG_AS_SSSE3, which is always defined.

I added ifdef CONFIG_X86 to lib/raid6/algos.c to avoid link errors
on non-x86 architectures.

lib/raid6/algos.c is built not only for the kernel but also for
testing the library code from userspace. I added -DCONFIG_X86 to
lib/raid6/test/Makefile to cator to this usecase.

1d87200446 Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        SYM_FUNC_END(name)

        SYM_CODE_START(name)
        SYM_CODE_END(name)

        SYM_DATA_START(name)
        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)

   - Misc other changes, cleanups and smaller fixes"

ed0356eda1 crypto: blake2s - x86_64 SIMD implementation
These implementations from Samuel Neves support AVX and AVX-512VL.
Originally this used AVX-512F, but Skylake thermal throttling made
AVX-512VL more attractive and possible to do with negligable difference.
