commit 6cfb521ac0d5b97470883ff9b7facae264b7ab12 upstream. Add a marker for retpoline to the module VERMAGIC. This catches the case when a non RETPOLINE compiled module gets loaded into a retpoline kernel, making it insecure. It doesn't handle the case when retpoline has been runtime disabled. Even in this case the match of the retcompile status will be enforced. This implies that even with retpoline run time disabled all modules loaded need to be recompiled.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
