commit 99033461e685b48549ec77608b4bda75ddf772ce upstream. Objtool detection of asm jump tables would normally just work, except for the fact that asm retpolines use alternatives. Objtool thinks the alternative code path (a jump to the retpoline) is a sibling call. Don't treat alternative indirect branches as sibling calls when the original instruction has a jump table.

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.
