x86: Add COND_VZEROUPPER that can replace vzeroupper if no `ret`
The RTM vzeroupper mitigation has no way of replacing inline vzeroupper not before a return. This can be useful when hoisting a vzeroupper to save code size for example: ``` L(foo): cmpl %eax, %edx jz L(bar) tzcntl %eax, %eax addq %rdi, %rax VZEROUPPER_RETURN L(bar): xorl %eax, %eax VZEROUPPER_RETURN ``` Can become: ``` L(foo): COND_VZEROUPPER cmpl %eax, %edx jz L(bar) tzcntl %eax, %eax addq %rdi, %rax ret L(bar): xorl %eax, %eax ret ``` This code does not change any existing functionality. There is no difference in the objdump of libc.so before and after this patch. Reviewed-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
