Subject: [PATCH 4.14 079/146] x86/retpoline: Remove minimal retpoline support

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhenzhong Duan zhenzhong.duan@...cle.com

commit ef014aae8f1cd2793e4e014bbb102bed53f852b7 upstream

Now that CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depends on compiler support, there is no
reason to keep the minimal retpoline support around which only provided
basic protection in the assembly files.
