When a static function is annotated with INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE and CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, the static keyword is removed. Sometimes the function needs to be exported but EXPORT_SYMBOL can't be used because if CONFIG_RETPOLINE is not set, we will attempt to export a static symbol. This patch introduces a new indirect call wrapper: EXPORT_INDIRECT_CALLABLE. This basically does EXPORT_SYMBOL when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, but does nothing when it's not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
