Subject[PATCH v2] x86: Stop relying on magic jmp behavior for early_idt_handlers
Date
The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry points
spaced nine bytes apart. It's not really clear from that code
or from the places that reference it what's going on, and the code
only works in the first place because gas never generates two-byte
jmp instructions when jumping to global labels.

Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride explicitly.
This should be considerably more robust against screw-ups, as gas
will warn if a .fill directive has a negative count. Using '. =' to
advance would have been even more robust (it would generate an
actual error if it tried to move backwards), but it would pad with
nulls, confusing anyone who tries to disassemble the code. The new
scheme should be much clearer to future readers.

Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels. If so, this
change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this change.

Before, on x86_64:

0000000000000000 <early_idt_handlers>:
0: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
2: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
4: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 9 <early_idt_handlers+0x9>
5: R_X86_64_PC32 early_idt_handler-0x4
...
48: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
4a: 6a 08 pushq $0x8
4c: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 51 <early_idt_handlers+0x51>
4d: R_X86_64_PC32 early_idt_handler-0x4
...
117: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
119: 6a 1f pushq $0x1f
11b: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 120 <early_idt_handler>
11c: R_X86_64_PC32 early_idt_handler-0x4

After:

0000000000000000 <early_idt_handlers>:
0: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
2: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
4: e9 14 01 00 00 jmpq 11d <early_idt_handler>
...
48: 6a 08 pushq $0x8
4a: e9 d1 00 00 00 jmpq 120 <early_idt_handler>
4f: cc int3
50: cc int3
...
117: 6a 00 pushq $0x0
119: 6a 1f pushq $0x1f
11b: eb 03 jmp 120 <early_idt_handler>
11d: cc int3
11e: cc int3
11f: cc int3
