Hello.

I've noticed this issue with blank '/boot/retpoline-*' files in 16.04 LTS Release (i386/x86_32) after Linux kernel update to the v4.4.0-115 version. (Generally, I've started to seeing these files when "Spectre_V12" patches were available for i386 architecture. I wanted to ask a question or report a bug about it etc.) So, these files are empty and it looks this way on 16.04 LTS Release:

[~]$ ls -al /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-11*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 lut 11 19:00 /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-115-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 lut 13 00:14 /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-116-generic

[~]$ uname -m
i686

Thanks, best regards.
