Subject: [PATCH 5.10 4/4] x86/speculation: Remove the extra #ifdef around CALL_NOSPEC
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 15:50:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903225003.50346-5-surajjs@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250903225003.50346-1-surajjs@amazon.com>
From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>
commit c8c81458863ab686cda4fe1e603fccaae0f12460 upstream.
Commit:
010c4a461c1d ("x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent")
added an #ifdef CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE around the CALL_NOSPEC definition.
This is not required as this code is already under a larger #ifdef.
Remove the extra #ifdef, no functional change.
vmlinux size remains same before and after this change:
CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y:
text data bss dec hex filename
25434752 7342290 2301212 35078254 217406e vmlinux.before
25434752 7342290 2301212 35078254 217406e vmlinux.after
# CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE is not set:
text data bss dec hex filename
22943094 6214994 1550152 30708240 1d49210 vmlinux.before
22943094 6214994 1550152 30708240 1d49210 vmlinux.after
