I updated the 5.10 longterm kernel on one of my m68k/aranym VMs from

Blitter tried to read byte from register ff8a00 at 0077ee
At this point it kept running, but produced no output to the console,
and would never get to the point of starting user-space. Attaching gdb
to aranym showed nothing interesting, i.e. it seemed to be executing
normally.
A git bisect identified the following commit between 5.10.52 and
5.10.53 as the culprit:
# first bad commit: [9e1cf2d1ed37c934c9935f2c0b2f8b15d9355654]
mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for fork()
That commit appeared in mainline between v5.13 and v5.14-rc1. Is mainline
also affected? e.g. v5.14-rc4.
5.14-rc4 boots fine. I suspect the commit has some dependency that
hasn't been backported to 5.10 stable.
