[PATCH v2] cfi: Use __builtin_function_start

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 22:48:35 EST


Clang 14 added support for the __builtin_function_start function,
which allows us to implement the function_nocfi macro without
architecture-specific inline assembly and in a way that also works
with static initializers.

Change CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to depend on Clang >= 14, define
function_nocfi using __builtin_function_start, and remove the arm64
inline assembly implementation.

v2:
- Changed CFI_CLANG to depend on Clang 14 instead of
__builtin_function_start.
- Squashed all three patches into one.
