This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled objtool: Fix retpoline detection in asm code to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: objtool-fix-retpoline-detection-in-asm-code.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cac84e9b4ef2caeb740ac08847d50f70272c1e4f Author: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 21 15:29:18 2021 -0600 objtool: Fix retpoline detection in asm code [ Upstream commit 1f9a1b74942485a0a29e7c4a9a9f2fe8aea17766 ] The JMP_NOSPEC macro branches to __x86_retpoline_*() rather than the __x86_indirect_thunk_*() wrappers used by C code. Detect jumps to __x86_retpoline_*() as retpoline dynamic jumps. Presumably this doesn't trigger a user-visible bug. I only found it when testing vmlinux.o validation.
