x86/entry/64: Create a per-CPU SYSCALL entry trampoline

commit 3386bc8aed825e9f1f65ce38df4b109b2019b71a upstream.

Handling SYSCALL is tricky: the SYSCALL handler is entered with every
single register (except FLAGS), including RSP, live.  It somehow needs
to set RSP to point to a valid stack, which means it needs to save the
user RSP somewhere and find its own stack pointer.  The canonical way
to do this is with SWAPGS, which lets us access percpu data using the
%gs prefix.

With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION-like pagetable switching, this is
problematic.  Without a scratch register, switching CR3 is impossible, so
%gs-based percpu memory would need to be mapped in the user pagetables.
Doing that without information leaks is difficult or impossible.

Instead, use a different sneaky trick.  Map a copy of the first part
of the SYSCALL asm at a different address for each CPU.  Now RIP
varies depending on the CPU, so we can use RIP-relative memory access
to access percpu memory.  By putting the relevant information (one
scratch slot and the stack address) at a constant offset relative to
RIP, we can make SYSCALL work without relying on %gs.

A nice thing about this approach is that we can easily switch it on
and off if we want pagetable switching to be configurable.

The compat variant of SYSCALL doesn't have this problem in the first
place -- there are plenty of scratch registers, since we don't care
about preserving r8-r15.  This patch therefore doesn't touch SYSCALL32
at all.

This patch actually seems to be a small speedup.  With this patch,
SYSCALL touches an extra cache line and an extra virtual page, but
the pipeline no longer stalls waiting for SWAPGS.  It seems that, at
least in a tight loop, the latter outweights the former.

Thanks to David Laight for an optimization tip.
