[ Upstream commit e463a09af2f0677b9485a7e8e4e70b396b2ffb6f ] Make use of an upcoming GCC feature to mitigate straight-line-speculation for x86: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:53a643f8568067d7700a9f2facc8ba39974973d3 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323 It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11. Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool validation. Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to: text data bss dec hex filename 22267751 6933356 2011368 31212475 1dc43bb defconfig-build/vmlinux 22804126 6933356 1470696 31208178 1dc32f2 defconfig-build/vmlinux.sls Or roughly 2.4% additional text.

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.
