Subject: [PATCH 5.10 038/130] objtool: Only rewrite unconditional retpoline thunk calls

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit 2d49b721dc18c113d5221f4cf5a6104eb66cb7f2 upstream.

It turns out that the compilers generate conditional branches to the
retpoline thunks like:

  5d5:   0f 85 00 00 00 00       jne    5db <cpuidle_reflect+0x22>
	5d7: R_X86_64_PLT32     __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4

while the rewrite can only handle JMP/CALL to the thunks. The result
is the alternative wrecking the code. Make sure to skip writing the
alternatives for conditional branches.
