+Subject: x86/alternatives: Remove faulty optimization
+
+From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
+
+commit 4ba89dd6ddeca2a733bdaed7c9a5cbe4e19d9124 upstream.
+
+The following commit
+
+ 095b8303f383 ("x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional")
+
+made '__x86_return_thunk' a placeholder value. All code setting
+X86_FEATURE_RETHUNK also changes the value of 'x86_return_thunk'. So
+the optimization at the beginning of apply_returns() is dead code.
+
+Also, before the above-mentioned commit, the optimization actually had a
+bug It bypassed __static_call_fixup(), causing some raw returns to
+remain unpatched in static call trampolines. Thus the 'Fixes' tag.
+

+Subject: x86,static_call: Fix static-call vs return-thunk
+
+From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
+
+commit aee9d30b9744d677509ef790f30f3a24c7841c3d upstream.
+
+Commit
+
+ 7825451fa4dc ("static_call: Add call depth tracking support")
+
+failed to realize the problem fixed there is not specific to call depth
+tracking but applies to all return-thunk uses.
+
+Move the fix to the appropriate place and condition.
