Re: [PATCH] x86/kvm, objtool: Avoid fastop ENDBR from being sealed

Hi Poimboeuf and Peter,

I installed the new patch based on v5.19 mainline kernel.

And this "Missing ENDBR: andw_ax_dx+0x0/0x10 [kvm]" issue was
reproduced again after ran syzkaller 5min on ADL-P.

I'm not sure is there something missed for attached patch.

Patch, kvm.ko and dmesg are in attached.

Thanks!
BR.
