Retpoline mitigation for spectre-v2 uses thunks for indirect branches. To support this mitigation compilers add a CS prefix with -mindirect-branch-cs-prefix. For an indirect branch in asm, this needs to be added manually. CS prefix is already being added to indirect branches in asm files, but not in inline asm. Add CS prefix to CALL_NOSPEC for inline asm as well. There is no JMP_NOSPEC for inline asm.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
