Note: needs to be in a section distinct from Retpolines such that the Retpoline RET substitution cannot possibly use immediate jumps. ORC unwinding for zen_untrain_ret() and __x86_return_thunk() is a little tricky but works due to the fact that zen_untrain_ret() doesn't have any stack ops and as such will emit a single ORC entry at the start (+0x3f). Meanwhile, unwinding an IP, including the __x86_return_thunk() one (+0x40) will search for the largest ORC entry smaller or equal to the IP, these will find the one ORC entry (+0x3f) and all works.

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.
