Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Enable retpoline only when compiler support

According to Peter Zijlstra's suggestion in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/18/1016,
hard bind retpoline with compiler support and remove minimal stuff.

Tested with both CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled and disabled.

-v2:
Add compiler support check in Kconfig [Masahiro]
Drop 3rd patch as __insn_is_indirect_jump() may be used in some corner case.[PeterZ]

Zhenzhong Duan (2):
retpolines: Only enable retpoline when compiler support it
retpolines: Remove the minimal stuff of retpoline support
