[PATCH 4.14 079/146] x86/retpoline: Remove minimal retpoline support

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Dec 04 2018 - 06:19:20 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhenzhong Duan zhenzhong.duan@xxxxxxxxxx

commit ef014aae8f1cd2793e4e014bbb102bed53f852b7 upstream

Now that CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depends on compiler support, there is no
reason to keep the minimal retpoline support around which only provided
basic protection in the assembly files.
