x86/rust: support MITIGATION_RETHUNK
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The equivalent of `-mfunction-return=thunk-extern` is not passed for
Rust. Thus, currently, `objtool` warns about it, e.g.:

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

The Rust compiler added support for `-Zfunction-return=thunk-extern`
[1] in 1.76.0 [2]. Thus add support for `MITIGATION_RETHUNK`.
