[PATCH v2 0/2] x86/retpoline,kprobes: Fix the [__indirect_thunk_start, ..end] range

[Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>]

Fix problems with an output position of thunk sections and the
associated definition of range [__indirect_thunk_start,
__indirect_thunk_end] which affects the kprobes optimization.

Initial v1 of the series kept the mentioned range but it turns out the
logic which uses it is not necessary so it is removed altogether.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Drop the patch which moved the return thunk out of
  [__indirect_thunk_start, ..end] and instead replace it with a removal
  of the kprobes optimization check which looked for calls to indirect
  thunks.
- Slightly adjust the commit message for the first patch, to better
  match the new second patch.
