commit 0b53c374

 upstream.

Utilize -mfunction-return=thunk-extern when available to have the
compiler replace RET instructions with direct JMPs to the symbol
__x86_return_thunk. This does not affect assembler (.S) sources, only C
sources.

-mfunction-return=thunk-extern has been available since gcc 7.3 and
clang 15.
