Yes, that would work -- all the modules that get built in tree, or out of tree but with retpolined compiler, would have that marker that could be optionally checked for by the kernel. > I just thought since you were already using modversions in enterprise > distros already, that adding it there would be the simplest. The patch as-is introduces immediate modversion mismatch between retpolined kernel and non-retpolined module, making each and every one fail to load. Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
