Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/32: indirect function call use bctrl rather than blrl in ret_from_kernel_thread
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 05:16:05 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <91b1d242525307ceceec7ef6e832bfbacdd4501b.1629436472.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> (raw)

Copied from commit 89bbe4c798bc ("powerpc/64: indirect function call
use bctrl rather than blrl in ret_from_kernel_thread")

blrl is not recommended to use as an indirect function call, as it may
corrupt the link stack predictor.

This is not a performance critical path but this should be fixed for
consistency.
