Hello,
Hi Viresh,
This series backports arm64 spectre patches to v4.4 stable kernel. I have started this backport with Mark Rutland's backport of Spectre to 4.9 [1] and tried applying the upstream version of them over 4.4 and resolved conflicts by checking how they have been resolved in 4.9.
The KVM changes are mostly dropped as the KVM code in v4.4 is quite different and it makes backport more complex. This was suggested by the ARM team.
I'm reviewing this backport now, but it's going to take me a few days to get through the entire series, so please don't be surprised if I'm quiet until the middle of next week.
If I spot any issues I'll reply immediately, but please poke if I haven't said anything by Wednesday.
Thanks, Mark.
