From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0fe4aeea9c01baabecc8c3afc7889c809d939bc2 ] When booting with retbleed=auto, if the kernel wasn't built with CONFIG_CC_HAS_RETURN_THUNK, the mitigation falls back to IBPB. Make sure a warning is printed in that case. The IBPB fallback check is done twice, but it really only needs to be done once.
