commit4535e1a417upstream. The original version of the mitigation would patch in the calls to the untraining routines directly. That is, the alternative() in UNTRAIN_RET will patch in the CALL to srso_alias_untrain_ret() directly. However, even if commite7c25c441e("x86/cpu: Cleanup the untrain mess") meant well in trying to clean up the situation, due to micro- architectural reasons, the untraining routine srso_alias_untrain_ret() must be the target of a CALL instruction and not of a JMP instruction as it is done now. Reshuffle the alternative macros to accomplish that.

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.
