Hi,
Now that kernel release 4.9.77 has been released and contains the full
retpoline fixes, could you please bring it to stretch before the next p-u ?
I know this situation is quite exceptionnal, but all the Spectre story is.
I'm not sure backporting only the required changes for retpoline would be
that easy.
Thanks a lot,

Really really hoping the peanut gallery can stay out of this and leave
the kernel and security team to do their jobs. Closing.
