Is it for backwards compatability or something? No, I think this patch didn't leave tools/vm/. I cannot see that on my tree: $ git log -1 799fb82aa132fa3a3886b7872997a5a84e820062 commit 799fb82aa132fa3a3886b7872997a5a84e820062 (HEAD) Author: SeongJae Park Date: Tue Jan 3 18:07:52 2023 +0000 tools/vm: rename tools/vm to tools/mm Rename tools/vm to tools/mm for being more consistent with the code and documentation directories, and won't be confused with virtual machines.

That could made you think this patch left the directory? Thanks, SJ [...]
