This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86: Use return-thunk in asm code to the 5.18-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: x86-use-return-thunk-in-asm-code.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 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 05:03:58 PM CEST 2022 From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2022 23:15:45 +0200 Subject: x86: Use return-thunk in asm code From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aa3d480315ba6c3025a60958e1981072ea37c3df upstream. Use the return thunk in asm code. If the thunk isn't needed, it will get patched into a RET instruction during boot by apply_returns(). Since alternatives can't handle relocations outside of the first instruction, putting a 'jmp __x86_return_thunk' in one is not valid, therefore carve out the memmove ERMS path into a separate label and jump to it.
