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 05:06:57 PM CEST 2022 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2022 19:10:11 +0200 Subject: x86/kexec: Disable RET on kexec From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 697977d8415d61f3acbc4ee6d564c9dcf0309507 upstream. All the invocations unroll to __x86_return_thunk and this file must be PIC independent. This fixes kexec on 64-bit AMD boxes.
