[PATCH v1 tip/master 1/3] retpoline: Introduce start/end markers of indirect thunk

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Jan 18 2018 - 07:01:49 EST


Introduce start/end markers of __x86_indirect_thunk_* functions.
These thunk functions are placed in .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.*
sections. So this puts those sections in the end of kernel text
and adds __indirect_thunk_start/end so that other subsystem
(e.g. kprobes) can identify it.
