The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/stable-review/patch-6.4.8-rc1.g... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-6.4.y and the diffstat can be found below.

Following kselftest build regression found,
selftests/rseq: Play nice with binaries statically linked against glibc 2.35+ commit 3bcbc20942db5d738221cca31a928efc09827069 upstream.
To allow running rseq and KVM's rseq selftests as statically linked binaries, initialize the various "trampoline" pointers to point directly at the expect glibc symbols, and skip the dlysm() lookups if the rseq size is non-zero, i.e. the binary is statically linked *and* the libc registered its own rseq.
Define weak versions of the symbols so as not to break linking against libc versions that don't support rseq in any capacity.
The KVM selftests in particular are often statically linked so that they can be run on targets with very limited runtime environments, i.e. test machines.
