This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled objtool: Treat .text.__x86.* as noinstr to the 5.10-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-treat-.text.__x86.-as-noinstr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Jul 12 05:07:35 PM CEST 2022 From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2022 23:15:47 +0200 Subject: objtool: Treat .text.__x86.* as noinstr From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 951ddecf435659553ed15a9214e153a3af43a9a1 upstream. Needed because zen_untrain_ret() will be called from noinstr code. Also makes sense since the thunks MUST NOT contain instrumentation nor be poked with dynamic instrumentation.
