These are all calling x86 entry code functions, so move them close
to other entry code.
Change lib-y to obj-y: there's no real difference between the two
as we don't really drop any of them during the linking stage, and
obj-y is the more common approach for core kernel object code.

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

Sequences:
pushl_cfi %reg
CFI_REL_OFFSET reg, 0
and:
popl_cfi %reg
CFI_RESTORE reg
happen quite often. This patch adds macros which generate them.
No assembly changes (verified with objdump -dr vmlinux.o).

___preempt_schedule() does SAVE_ALL/RESTORE_ALL but this is
suboptimal, we do not need to save/restore the callee-saved
register. And we already have arch/x86/lib/thunk_*.S which
implements the similar asm wrappers, so it makes sense to
redefine ___preempt_schedule() as "THUNK ..." and remove
preempt.S altogether.

thunk/restore functions are also used for tracing irqoff etc.
and those are involved in kprobe's exception handling.
Prohibit probing on them to avoid kernel crash.

Some of the items removed were apparently never used, others
simply didn't get removed with their last user.

This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).
"irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
Note:
tracing_max_latency
also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
(default to large number so one must start latency tracing)
tracing_thresh
threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
is detected to be longer than stated here.
If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
is ignored.
Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0
