[PATCH 5.15 093/245] Revert "x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional"

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

 



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

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

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 08f7cfd44f77b2796582bc26164fdef44dd33b6c.

Revert the backport of upstream commit:

  095b8303f383 ("x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional")

in order to backport the full version now that

  770ae1b70952 ("x86/returnthunk: Allow different return thunks")

has been backported.

Revert it here so that the build breakage is kept at minimum.
