From caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 15:50:28 -0800 Subject: module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.
