From 2eecf5cf21cbb0c063671829d04dfb52a238ddfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2025 18:35:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent commit cfceff8526a426948b53445c02bcb98453c7330d upstream. CALL_NOSPEC macro is used to generate Spectre-v2 mitigation friendly indirect branches. At compile time the macro defaults to indirect branch, and at runtime those can be patched to thunk based mitigations. This approach is opposite of what is done for the rest of the kernel, where the compile time default is to replace indirect calls with retpoline thunk calls. Make CALL_NOSPEC consistent with the rest of the kernel, default to retpoline thunk at compile time when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled.
