Hi Greg, Sasha,

Could you backport upstream commit de19055564c8f8f9d366f8db3395836da0b2176c ("Documentation: Document arm64 kpti control") to the stable 4.9, 4.14 and 4.19 kernels since they all support the command line parameter.

Hey Florian,

We don't normally take documentation patches into stable trees.

Normally we do not, but this is simple enough I've queued it up for 4.19 and 4.14. Are you sure it is ok for 4.9? If so, Florian, can you provide a backported version of it?

thanks,
