+Subject: Revert "module: Add retpoline tag to VERMAGIC"
+
+From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+
+commit 5132ede0fe8092b043dae09a7cc32b8ae7272baa upstream.
+
+This reverts commit 6cfb521ac0d5b97470883ff9b7facae264b7ab12.
+
+Turns out distros do not want to make retpoline as part of their "ABI",
+so this patch should not have been merged.  Sorry Andi, this was my
+fault, I suggested it when your original patch was the "correct" way of
+doing this instead.
+
+Reported-by: Jiri Kosina <jikos@kernel.org>
+Fixes: 6cfb521ac0d5 ("module: Add retpoline tag to VERMAGIC")
