Detailed Description

Pass that injects an MI thunk that is used to lower indirect calls in a way that prevents speculation on some x86 processors and can be used to mitigate security vulnerabilities due to targeted speculative execution and side channels such as CVE-2017-5715.

Currently supported thunks include:

• Retpoline – A RET-implemented trampoline that lowers indirect calls
• LVI Thunk – A CALL/JMP-implemented thunk that forces load serialization before making an indirect call/jump

Note that the reason that this is implemented as a MachineFunctionPass and not a ModulePass is that ModulePasses at this point in the LLVM X86 pipeline serialize all transformations, which can consume lots of memory.

TODO(chandlerc): All of this code could use better comments and documentation.
