[PATCH v2 12/12] retpoline: Attempt to quiten objtool warning for unreachable code

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The speculative jump trampoline has to contain unreachable code.
objtool keeps complaining

arch/x86/lib/retpoline.o: warning: objtool: __x86.indirect_thunk()+0x8: unreachable instruction

I tried to fix it here by adding ASM_UNREACHABLE annotation (after
supporting them for pure assembler), but it still complains.
Seems like a objtool bug?

So it doesn't actually fix the warning oyet.
Of course it's just a warning so the kernel will still work fine.

Perhaps Josh can figure it out
