Josh Poimboeuf 9142be9e64 x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturn
The direct-call syscall dispatch function doesn't know that the exit()
and exit_group() syscall handlers don't return, so the call sites aren't
optimized accordingly.

Fix that by marking the exit syscall declarations __noreturn.

Fixes the following warnings:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: x64_sys_call+0x2804: __x64_sys_exit() is missing a __noreturn annotation
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ia32_sys_call+0x29b6: __ia32_sys_exit_group() is missing a __noreturn annotation

Fixes: 1e3ad78334 ("x86/syscall: Don't force use of indirect calls for system calls")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
