[ Upstream commit 6cf09958f32b9667bb3ebadf74367c791112771b ]
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".
