Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Enable retpoline only when compiler support

According to Peter Zijlstra's suggestion in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/18/1016,
hard bind retpoline with compiler support and remove minimal stuff.

Tested with both CONFIG_RETPOLIN_SUPPORT enabled and disabled.

Zhenzhong Duan (3):
  retpolines: Only enable retpoline when compiler support it
  retpolines: Remove the minimal stuff of retpoline support
  kprobes/x86: Simplify indirect-jump check in retpoline case
