All,
It is now almost two weeks since David posted the patches, and a week since the last message in this thread.
What is happening with these patches? What about the 4.4-stable backport as well? Does anyone care about these anymore? Do we have any product customers using 32-bit Cortex CPUs anymore?
David - FYI - everything in my Spectre branch is now in mainline as of 4.20-rc3, and I have nothing further planned for core 32-bit ARM Spectre workarounds.

Marc,
Can you please ack this to say that you are now happy with it after your comments on version 1, so we can move forward and have Greg merge it.
Thanks.

Sure. Feel free to add my

I assume someone has tested these patches (I haven't, and I'm unlikely to do so in the near future as I'm travelling). I'm not sure Tony's "Boot-tested-by" is still valid, and Florian's earlier set of tests didn't show the issues of the initial backport.
Correct, I was not testing any KVM path at all, which is why this did not show up as a problem for me, I am not really well equipped to perform KVM testing at the moment. -- Florian
