This option is incompatible with -mindirect-branch, which is used for building kernels with retpoline support. Building a kernel or dkms modules fails without the patch, and during upgrade to eoan we can get failures due to dkms modules failing to build for older kernels with the new compiler. Fix: Backport upstream patch to add -fcf-protection=none to kernel retpoline flags. Test Case: Upgrade from {bionic,diso} to eoan with dkms modules installed. Regression Potential: The patch probes the compiler for support for -fcf-protection and only adds it if the compiler supports it, and =none was the default prior to the change in eoan. It's also been upstream and in eoan for a while now, so it's unlikely to cause any regressions.
