Make <asm/syscall.h> build a switch statement instead, and the compiler can either decide to generate an indirect jump, or - more likely these days due to mitigations - just a series of conditional branches. Yes, the conditional branches also have branch prediction, but the branch prediction is much more controlled, in that it just causes speculatively running the wrong system call (harmless), rather than speculatively running possibly wrong random less controlled code gadgets. This doesn't mitigate other indirect calls, but the system call indirection is the first and most easily triggered case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
