I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.
Oops, hit the wrong button, this should have been my "this did not apply" message, sorry about that.
This doesn't apply because:
Fixes: 28a1f3ac1d0c ("kvm: x86: Set highest physical address bits in non-present/reserved SPTEs")
that commit is not in a stable tree. It wasn't marked to be backpoted, should it?
When I sent my compile fix, I did not expect either one to need a backport. Looking at 28a1f3ac1d0c more closely does make it sound like it should be. Junaid Shahid wrote the patch originally, let's see what he thinks.

Yes, I think that it would be a good idea to include 28a1f3ac1d0c in the stable tree, as it contains a security fix related to L1TF.
Thanks, Junaid
