x86/rust: support MITIGATION_RETHUNK
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Rust compiler added support for `-Zfunction-return=thunk-extern` [1]
in 1.76.0 [2], i.e. the equivalent of `-mfunction-return=thunk-extern`.
Thus add support for `MITIGATION_RETHUNK`.

Without this, `objtool` would warn if enabled for Rust and already warns
under IBT builds, e.g.:

    samples/rust/rust_print.o: warning: objtool:
    _R...init+0xa5c: 'naked' return found in RETHUNK build
