[PATCH 4.16 055/161] s390: correct module section names for expoline code revert

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 24 2018 - 05:37:50 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6cf09958f32b9667bb3ebadf74367c791112771b ]

The main linker script vmlinux.lds.S for the kernel image merges
the expoline code patch tables into two section ".nospec_call_table"
and ".nospec_return_table". This is *not* done for the modules,
there the sections retain their original names as generated by gcc:
".s390_indirect_call", ".s390_return_mem" and ".s390_return_reg".

The module_finalize code has to check for the compiler generated
section names, otherwise no code patching is done. This slows down
the module code in case of "spectre_v2=off".
