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
