commit 31a7424bc58063a8e0466c3c10f31a52ec2be4f6 upstream. Objtool converts direct retpoline jumps to type INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC, since that's what they are semantically. That conversion doesn't work in vmlinux.o validation because the indirect thunk function is present in the object, so the intra-object jump check succeeds before the retpoline jump check gets a chance. Rearrange the checks: check for a retpoline jump before checking for an intra-object jump.

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.
