Hi Dexuan, The above commit didn't ever make it into Linus' tree in that form; the issues were fixed beforehand. So there isn't a subsequent commit that fixes it. I think it might have just been removing some .align 16 from nospec-branch.h? The correct version has been backported to 4.9 and 4.4 releases already; if you pulled in an early version directly from tip/x86/pti then I'd recommend you drop it and pull in the real version instead.
