I think the license needs to be in its own comment, like

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
/* arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_ptrauth_asm.h: ...
* ...
*/

__ASM_KVM_PTRAUTH_ASM_H ? (to match the file name)

I think this now needs to have "goto out;" instead of "return -EINVAL;",
since 5.1-rcX contains commit e761a927bc9a ("KVM: arm/arm64: Reset the
VCPU without preemption and vcpu state loaded") which changed some of
this code.

This version of the series seems to have lost the arch/arm/ definition
of kvm_arm_vcpu_ptrauth_setup_lazy (previously
kvm_arm_vcpu_ptrauth_reset), so KVM no longer compiles for arch/arm/ :(

Thanks,
