From ca41b97ed9124fd62323a162de5852f6e28f94b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:18:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Add module specific retpoline rules David allowed retpolines in .init.text, except for modules, which will trip up objtool retpoline validation, fix that.
