This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
x86/cpu: Initialize MSR_TSC_AUX if RDTSCP *or* RDPID is supported
to the 5.12-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:

Subject: x86/cpu: Initialize MSR_TSC_AUX if RDTSCP *or* RDPID is supported
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b6b4fbd90b155a0025223df2c137af8a701d53b3 upstream.
Initialize MSR_TSC_AUX with CPU node information if RDTSCP or RDPID is
supported. This fixes a bug where vdso_read_cpunode() will read garbage
via RDPID if RDPID is supported but RDTSCP is not. While no known CPU
supports RDPID but not RDTSCP, both Intel's SDM and AMD's APM allow for
RDPID to exist without RDTSCP, e.g. it's technically a legal CPU model
for a virtual machine.
Note, technically MSR_TSC_AUX could be initialized if and only if RDPID
is supported since RDTSCP is currently not used to retrieve the CPU node.
But, the cost of the superfluous WRMSR is negigible, whereas leaving
MSR_TSC_AUX uninitialized is just asking for future breakage if someone
decides to utilize RDTSCP.
Fixes: a582c540ac1b ("x86/vdso: Use RDPID in preference to LSL when available")
