Subject: [PATCH] x86/its: Move ITS indirect branch thunks to .text..__x86.indirect_thunk
Date: Fri,  6 Jun 2025 09:55:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <67a17ed2fc8d12111e76504c8364b1597657c29a.1749228881.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)

The ITS mitigation includes both indirect branch thunks and return
thunks.  Both are currently placed in .text..__x86.return_thunk, which
is appropriate for the latter but not the former.

For consistency with other mitigations, move the indirect branch thunks
to .text..__x86.indirect_thunk.
