commit20bf2b3787upstream. With retpolines disabled, some configurations of GCC, and specifically the GCC versions 9 and 10 in Ubuntu will add Intel CET instrumentation to the kernel by default. That breaks certain tracing scenarios by adding a superfluous ENDBR64 instruction before the fentry call, for functions which can be called indirectly. CET instrumentation isn't currently necessary in the kernel, as CET is only supported in user space. Disable it unconditionally and move it into the x86's Makefile as CET/CFI... enablement should be a per-arch decision anyway.

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.
