[PATCH] x86/retbleed: Add __x86_return_thunk alignment checks

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Mon May 15 2023 - 10:07:52 EST


From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a linker assertion and compute the 0xcc padding dynamically so that
__x86_return_thunk is always cacheline-aligned. Leave the SYM_START()
macro in as the untraining doesn't need ENDBR annotations anyway.
