mainlining shenanigans
b8b9ce4b5a
Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler
does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is:
It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the
asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the
compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the
ones easiest to target.
And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about
it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if
their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the
warning is just annoying crap.
It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The
compile-time warning only encourages bad things.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
