    s390: correct module section names for expoline code revert · 6cf09958
    Martin Schwidefsky authored
    The main linker script vmlinux.lds.S for the kernel image merges
    the expoline code patch tables into two section ".nospec_call_table"
    and ".nospec_return_table". This is *not* done for the modules,
    there the sections retain their original names as generated by gcc:
    ".s390_indirect_call", ".s390_return_mem" and ".s390_return_reg".
    
    The module_finalize code has to check for the compiler generated
    section names, otherwise no code patching is done. This slows down
    the module code in case of "spectre_v2=off".
