[PATCH 5.10 121/135] x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 095b8303f3835c68ac4a8b6d754ca1c3b6230711 upstream.

There is infrastructure to rewrite return thunks to point to any
random thunk one desires, unwrap that from CALL_THUNKS, which up to
now was the sole user of that.

  [ bp: Make the thunks visible on 32-bit and add ifdeffery for the
    32-bit builds. ]
