Disassembly of section .text.__x86.indirect_thunk:
0000000000000000 <__x86.indirect_thunk>:
0: e8 04 00 00 00 callq 9 <__x86.indirect_thunk+0x9>
5: f3 90 pause
7: eb fc jmp 5 <__x86.indirect_thunk+0x5>
9: 48 8d 64 24 08 lea 0x8(%rsp),%rsp
e: c3 retq
That has the old-style CET-incompatible retpoline in a COMDAT section
in the .o file. What compiler options are being used for that? The
kernel should only use retpoline if GCC supports both of
-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mindirect-branch-register, and this
compiler is doing *neither* of those.
