Here is the patch:

------

From dfdee39c795ee5dcee2c77f6ba344a61f4d8124b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 34/43] x86/vsyscall/64: Fixup Shadow Stack and Indirect Branch
 Tracking for vsyscall emulation

Vsyscall entry points are effectively branch targets.  Mark them with
ENDBR64 opcodes.  When emulating the RET instruction, unwind the shadow
stack and reset IBT state machine.
