commit c8c81458863ab686cda4fe1e603fccaae0f12460 upstream.
Commit:
010c4a461c1d ("x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent")
added an #ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE around the CALL_NOSPEC definition. This is not required as this code is already under a larger #ifdef.
Remove the extra #ifdef, no functional change.
vmlinux size remains same before and after this change:
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y: text data bss dec hex filename 25434752 7342290 2301212 35078254 217406e vmlinux.before 25434752 7342290 2301212 35078254 217406e vmlinux.after
# CONFIG_RETPOLINE is not set: text data bss dec hex filename 22943094 6214994 1550152 30708240 1d49210 vmlinux.before 22943094 6214994 1550152 30708240 1d49210 vmlinux.after
