From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 16:18:50 +0100 Subject: x86/mm/sme, objtool: Annotate indirect call in sme_encrypt_execute()
From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org
commit 531bb52a869a9c6e08c8d17ba955fcbfc18037ad upstream.
This is boot code and thus Spectre-safe: we run this _way_ before userspace comes along to have a chance to poison our branch predictor.
