Subject: [PATCH v6.5 09/26] x86: Support compiling with indirect branch thunks
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 00:15:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515024955-13390-10-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1515024955-13390-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

Use -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern/-mindirect-branch-register when available.
To begin with, use the retpoline thunk.  Later work will add alternative
thunks which can be selected at boot time.
