5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 3eb602ad6a94a76941f93173131a71ad36fa1324. Revert the backport of upstream commit 1f001e9da6bb ("x86/ftrace: Use alternative RET encoding") in favor of a proper backport after backporting the commit which adds __text_gen_insn().
