Above is the link to Steven's v5 of the series on which I based my v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260129112726.892340-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com/

I just realized that Steven's latest version actually was v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250425023750.669174660@goodmis.org/

That is why I also messed up the series' versioning and erroneously sent
mine as v6 as well.  Sorry for that!

I'll incorporate all of the missing original v6 changes and review
feedback into v8.  Following is an excerpt from the range-diff between
Steven's v6 and my v6 showing the only missing change in commit subject
of patch 3:

    -    x86/asm: Use CFI_* macros in SYM_FUNC_* macros so they can be added to VDSO
    +    x86/asm: Simplify VDSO DWARF generation

         Add CFI_STARTPROC and CFI_ENDPROC annotations to the SYM_FUNC_* macros
         so the VDSO asm functions don't need to add them manually.  Note this
         only affects VDSO, the CFI_* macros are empty for the kernel proper.
