[Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 01/17] x86: Support compiling with indirect branch thunks

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Use -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern/-mindirect-branch-register when available.
To begin with, use the retpoline thunk.  Later work will add alternative
thunks which can be selected at boot time.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>

v7:
 * Alter thunk symbols to match the latested GCC changes proposed upstream.
 * Rename indirect_thunk.S to indirect-thunk.S
 * Use a single parameter now that we don't need to split reg and name.
 * Sort registers by encoding.
