Pending patches for 4.11?

Pending patches for 4.11?

[Juergen Gross]

Are there any patches for 4.11 still pending?

Are any important patches missing my Release-ack?

I'd like to have a final rc this Friday and hope OSStest will catch up
in order to have an on time release early June.

There is one issue that would affects compiling kdd with gcc 8. Marek
hasn't posted a new patch. I will have a look today.

Yes, the ARM counterpart of XSA-264 (Speculative Store Bypass). I am 
going to post a first version today.

I meant XSA-263. Sorry for the confusion.

x86: correct vCPU dirty CPU handling
x86/HVM: correct mtrr_pat_not_equal()
libxc/x86: don't hand through CPUID leaf 0x80000008 as is
x86/CPUID: don't override tool stack decision to hide STIBP

The first three these have discussion stuck somewhere, while the last
one is a result from a stuck discussion on a 4.8/4.7 patch. For the MTRR
one I'm not entirely certain this is really needed for 4.11 (I wouldn't
have thought of backporting it in any event, unless someone explicitly
asked for it).

Plus the kdd build issue that Wei has already mentioned.

Of course it would also be nice to address the reported S3 regression.

There appears to be an oxenstored regression, suspected to be related to
the immutable string changes.  I may be submitting a reversion request,
depending on testing.

There is also an open assertion failure which XenServer's testing can
spot occasionally, but that I've not had time to investigate any further.

There were several reports of regressions in migration -- have those
been resolved?

Is this the same assertion reported by NetBSD?

libxc/x86/PV: don't hand through CPUID leaf 0x80000008 as is
x86: suppress sync when XPTI is disabled for a domain
x86: correct default_xen_spec_ctrl calculation
x86/CPUID: don't override tool stack decision to hide STIBP

The 2nd is only a small optimization, so may not be as much of a
candidate as the other three.
