Hi! I'd like to ping this series. It has slightly higher priority from
my perspective, since I'd like this to be backported in time for GCC 11.2.
Thanks!

Add POWER10 support for hashst[p] and hashchk[p] operations. When
the -mrop-protect option is selected, any function that loads the link
register from memory before returning must have protection in the
prologue and epilogue to ensure the link register save location has
not been compromised. If -mprivileged is also specified, the
protection instructions generated require supervisor privilege.
The patches are broken up into logical chunks:
- Option handling
- Instruction generation
- Predefined macro handling
- Test cases
Bootstrapped and tested on a POWER10 system with no regressions.
Tests on a kernel that enables user-space ROP mitigation were
successful. Is this series ok for trunk? I would also like to later
backport these patches to GCC for the 11.2 release.
Thanks!
