Subject: [PATCH 0/9] x86,objtool: Optimize !RETPOLINE
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:16:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210312171613.533405394@infradead.org> (raw)

Hi,

Now that Juergen's paravirt rework, which included the negative alternative
stuff, landed in tip, here's a respin of my retpoline patches.

The main feature is replacing the compiler generated (tail) calls to
__x86_indirect_thunk_\reg with an ALTERNATIVE that replaces them with regular
indirect call instructions, eliding the double jump.

Patches rely on tip/objtool/core and tip/x86/alternatives
