This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: entry: Free up another register on kpti's tramp_exit path to the 5.4-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: arm64-entry-free-up-another-register-on-kpti-s-tramp.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 382fc8568386f3577f63e42efbe92e492842b65f Author: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 15 18:24:00 2022 +0000 arm64: entry: Free up another register on kpti's tramp_exit path commit 03aff3a77a58b5b52a77e00537a42090ad57b80b upstream. Kpti stashes x30 in far_el1 while it uses x30 for all its work. Making the vectors a per-cpu data structure will require a second register. Allow tramp_exit two registers before it unmaps the kernel, by leaving x30 on the stack, and stashing x29 in far_el1.
