Currently objtool cannot understand retpolines, and thus cannot generate ORC unwind information for them. This means that we cannot unwind from the middle of a retpoline. The recent ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL and UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET support in objtool enables it to understand the basic retpoline construct. A further problem is that the ORC unwind information is alternative invariant; IOW. every alternative should have the same ORC, retpolines obviously violate this. This means we need to out-of-line them. Since all GCC generated code already uses out-of-line retpolines, this should not affect performance much, if anything. This will enable objtool to generate valid ORC data for the out-of-line copies, which means we can correctly and reliably unwind through a retpoline.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
