Stick all the retpolines in a single symbol and have the individual thunks as inner labels, this should guarantee thunk order and layout. Previously there were 16 (or rather 15 without rsp) separate symbols and a toolchain might reasonably expect it could displace them however it liked, with disregard for their relative position. However, now they're part of a larger symbol. Any change to their relative position would disrupt this larger _array symbol and thus not be sound. This is the same reasoning used for data symbols. On their own there is no guarantee about their relative position wrt to one aonther, but we're still able to do arrays because an array as a whole is a single larger symbol.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
