Use ud1 as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort handler. Its benefit compared to nopl is to trap execution if the program ends up trying to execute it by mistake, which makes debugging easier. The 4-byte signature per se is unchanged (it is the instruction operand). Only the opcode is changed from nopl to ud1.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
