25532553 Compile the kernel with call depth tracking to mitigate the Intel
2554- SKL Return-Speculation-Buffer (RSB) underflow issue. The
2555- mitigation is off by default and needs to be enabled on the
2556- kernel command line via the retbleed=stuff option. For
2557- non-affected systems the overhead of this option is marginal as
2558- the call depth tracking is using run-time generated call thunks
2559- in a compiler generated padding area and call patching. This
2560- increases text size by ~5%. For non affected systems this space
2561- is unused. On affected SKL systems this results in a significant
2562- performance gain over the IBRS mitigation.
