4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d5028ba8ee5a18c9d0bb926d883c28b370f89009 upstream. Disable retpoline validation in objtool if your compiler sucks, and otherwise select the validation stuff for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y (most builds would already have it set due to ORC).
