[PATCH 02/24] objtool: Add retpoline validation

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Jan 23 2018 - 10:45:18 EST


David requested a objtool validation pass for RETPOLINE enabled
builds, where it validates no unannotated indirect jumps or calls are
left.

Add an additional .discard.retpoline_safe section to allow annotating
the few indirect sites that are required and safe.
