I took this series for a spin on arm64 and x86_64.

I did not see any runtime issues on my arm64 or AMD test machines but I
do see a set of failures on my two Intel test machines when accessing
the files in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt/gt0:

The source of those is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_gt_sysfs_pm.c. I
have not looked too closely yet but the fix should be something along
the lines of commit 58606220a2f1 ("drm/i915: Fix CFI violation with
show_dynamic_id()"). I will note that the 'dev' variable does appear to
be used so the fix might not be as trivial as that one. Not sure I will
have a chance to look into it before Plumbers but I am happy to test a
patch if you happen to see an obvious fix.

Interestingly, I do not see the KVM failure [1] that I reported anymore.
I do not see an obvious fix for it in this series or -next though, could
it have been an issue with an earlier revision of kCFI on the compiler
side?

I do see a few new objtool warnings as well:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: apply_relocate_add+0x34: relocation to !ENDBR: memcpy+0x0
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ___ksymtab+__memcpy+0x0: data relocation to !ENDBR: memcpy+0x0
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ___ksymtab+memcpy+0x0: data relocation to !ENDBR: memcpy+0x0

As a result of the above:
