Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the kvm-arm tree got a conflict in:
arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h
between commit:
1f9b8936f36f ("arm64: Decode information from ESR upon mem faults")
from the arm64 tree and commit:
c5511c3c068c ("KVM: arm/arm64: Fix guest external abort matching")
from the kvm-arm tree.
I fixed it up (I used the former version) and can carry the fix as
necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any
non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer
when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider
cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any
particularly complex conflicts.

Thanks for that, result looking good.
Christoffer: I think we could simply drop the hunk touching esr.h from
James' patch. After all, even if nothing is using it, this bit still
exists in the ESR register, and there is little gain in dropping its
definition. This would solve the conflict nicely...
Thanks,
M.

Yes, I have updated the branch accordingly and added my signed-off-by as well.
