A recent enhancement intentionally fails the kernel build if the compiler does not support retpolines and CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set.
However, the patch that introduced it did not change RETPOLINE macro references into CONFIG_RETPOLINE ones. As a result, indirect branches that are used by init functions are not kept (i.e., they use retpolines), and modules that do not use retpolines are marked as retpoline-safe.
Fix it be changing RETPOLINE into CONFIG_RETPOLINE.

Someone sent a similar patch last month, see below link, you missed the change in scripts/mod/modpost.c
Indeed. I missed this patch since it wasn’t on tip (and Google wasn’t helpful either).
I wonder why it has still not been applied.
