Hi,

Now that kernel release 4.9.77 has been released and contains the full retpoline fixes, could you please bring it to stretch before the next p-u ?

I know this situation is quite exceptionnal, but all the Spectre story is. I'm not sure backporting only the required changes for retpoline would be that easy.

Thanks a lot,
