Subject: [PATCH v2 2/9] x86/traps: Clarify KCFI instruction layout
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 20:46:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904034656.3670313-2-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904033217.it.414-kees@kernel.org>
Just a nit-picky change to the KCFI indirect call check instruction
documentation. The addl offset isn't always -4 (it depends on patchable
function entry configuration).
