Also:

  • Support .retpoline_sites section
  • Add cross-compilation support? (not sure if this fully works yet with the kpatch-build script since ARCH is based on host arch?)

Support .retpoline_sites section

Hmm, I thought I copy/pasted that one, but somehow it disappeared from my editor. Added.

Add cross-compilation support? (not sure if this fully works yet with the kpatch-build script since ARCH is based on host arch?)

As soon as I see "cross" I think "cross-architecture", and on that front, it's only implemented as far as create-diff-object. I think that would be most visible via the unit-tests.

We did merge #1248 and those commits call it "cross-compilation" and we now allow the user to pick their compiler via CROSS_COMPILE. The (implied) limitation is that it must be for the local arch. Maybe something like "Add native compiler selection via CROSS_COMPILE" ?

Yeah, that sounds good.
