x86/retpoline: Swizzle retpoline thunk
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Put the actual retpoline thunk as the original code so that it can
become more complicated. Specifically, it allows RET to be a JMP,
which can't be .altinstr_replacement since that doesn't do relocations
(except for the very first instruction).
