[PATCH v3 11/16] x86/alternative: Handle Jcc __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 08:08:25 EST


Handle the rare cases where the compiler (clang) does an indirect
conditional tail-call using:

Jcc __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg

For the !RETPOLINE case this can be rewritten to fit the original (6
byte) instruction like:

Jncc.d8 1f
JMP *%\reg
NOP
1:
