Hi Greg, Here is the state of the current v5.4 backport. Now that the 32bit code has been merged, it doesn't conflict when KVM's shared 32bit/64bit code needs to use these constants. I've fixed the two issues that were reported against the v5.10 backport. I had a go at bringing all the pre-requisites in to add proton-pack.c to v5.4. Its currently 39 patches: https://git.gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-jm.git /bhb/alternative_backport/UNTESTED/v5.4.183 (or for web browsers: https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-jm/-/commits/bhb/alternative_backport/UNTESTED/v5.4.183/ ) I've not managed to bring b881cdce77b4 "KVM: arm64: Allocate hyp vectors statically" in, as that depends on the hypervisor's per-cpu support. Its this patch that means those 'smccc_wa' templates are needed. I estimate it would be 60 patches in total if we go this way, I don't think its a good idea: All this still has to work around 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support") and 9ed24f4b712b ("KVM: arm64: Move virt/kvm/arm to arch/arm64") being missing. I think this approach creates more problems than it solves as the files have to be in different places because of 32bit. It also creates a significantly larger testing problem: I'm not looking forward to working out how to test KVM guest migration over the variant-4 KVM ABI changes in 29e8910a566a. This version of the backport still adds the mitigation management code to cpu_errata.c, because that is where this stuff lived in v5.4. If you prefer, I can try adding proton-pack.c as a new empty file. I think this would only confuse matters as the line-numbers would never match, and there is an interaction with the spectre-v2 mitigations that live in cpu_errata.c. There is one patch not present in mainline 'KVM: arm64: Add templtes for BHB mitigation sequences'.
