commit bbe2df3f6b6da7848398d55b1311d58a16ec21e4 upstream. Try and replace retpoline thunk calls with: LFENCE CALL *%\reg for spectre_v2=retpoline,amd. Specifically, the sequence above is 5 bytes for the low 8 registers, but 6 bytes for the high 8 registers. This means that unless the compilers prefix stuff the call with higher registers this replacement will fail. Luckily GCC strongly favours RAX for the indirect calls and most (95%+ for defconfig-x86_64) will be converted. OTOH clang strongly favours R11 and almost nothing gets converted. Note: it will also generate a correct replacement for the Jcc.d32 case, except unless the compilers start to prefix stuff that, it'll never fit. Specifically: Jncc.d8 1f LFENCE JMP *%\reg 1: is 7-8 bytes long, where the original instruction in unpadded form is only 6 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
