It looks like commit 8c1e3d2bb44c ("arm64: Always enable spectre-v2
vulnerability detection") was backported from 5.2 to 4.14 but the
context for the __bp_harden_hyp_vecs_start declaration/definition is
missing.

In 4.17, commit 4340ba80bd3a ("arm64: KVM: Move BP hardening vectors
into .hyp.text section") moved the __bp_harden_hyp_vecs_start to a
different section and compiled bpi.S if CONFIG_KVM_INDIRECT_VECTORS.
In the same kernel, commit e8b22d0f4500 ("arm64: Move the content of
bpi.S to hyp-entry.S") added #ifdef CONFIG_KVM_INDIRECT_VECTORS around
the faulty code above. However, the 8c1e3d2bb44c backport did not take
any of these into account and left the code above bracketed only by
CONFIG_KVM.

I think it's better if we dropped this commit altogether from 4.14.y.
Jeremy, any reason why this should be in stable?
