3.16.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 upstream. There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.
