To mitigate Spectre Variant 2, GCC needs to have retpoline
support (-mindirect-branch and -mfunction-return arguments on amd64
and i386).

Patches were pulled from H.J. Lu's backport branch to
4.9 (hjl/indirect/gcc-4_9-branch), available at
https://github.com/hjl-tools/gcc/tree/hjl/indirect/gcc-4_9-branch/master. Upstream
GCC does not apply patches to anything older than the
gcc-6-branch. H.J. Lu is the author of the upstream retpoline commits
as well.

Several Linux distributions already backported these patches to GCC 4
branches and some old kernels (3.13 for instance) have been recompiled
with these GCC patches. These kernels only allow to load kernel
modules that are compiled with the retpoline support.
