Right, so that looks like this:

The patch which causes the misalignment is

c4691712b546 ("x86/linkage: Add ENDBR to SYM_FUNC_START*()")

which came in 5.18 (v5.17-rc8-21-gc4691712b546) and the one which adds
the actual untraining sequence:

a149180fbcf3 ("x86: Add magic AMD return-thunk")

came in 5.19.

So adding a Fixes: tag pointing to a patch which goes before the actual
patch didn't make any sense to me last night.

HOWEVER, Thadeu did backport it here as

a9c0926fc754 ("x86: Add magic AMD return-thunk")

but the other patch wasn't backported.

So the 5.15 build looks good:

ffffffff81c01f7f <zen_untrain_ret>:
ffffffff81c01f7f:       f6                      .byte 0xf6

ffffffff81c01f80 <__x86_return_thunk>:
ffffffff81c01f80:       c3                      ret
ffffffff81c01f81:       cc                      int3
ffffffff81c01f82:       0f ae e8                lfence
ffffffff81c01f85:       eb f9                   jmp    ffffffff81c01f80 <__x86_return_thunk>
ffffffff81c01f87:       cc                      int3

So 5.15 doesn't need it.

Now lemme look at 5.10.

Thx.
