From 25e73b7e3f72a25aa30cbb2eecb49036e0acf066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 12:55:46 +0200 Subject: x86/ibt: Suppress spurious ENDBR It was reported that under certain circumstances GCC emits ENDBR instructions for _THIS_IP_ usage. Specifically, when it appears at the start of a basic block -- but not elsewhere. Since _THIS_IP_ is never used for control flow, these ENDBR instructions are completely superfluous. Override the _THIS_IP_ definition for x86_64 to avoid this. Less ENDBR instructions is better.
