These weak references each cause a warning:

kernel/sys.c:2333:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'arch_get_indir_br_lp_status' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
2333 | int __weak arch_get_indir_br_lp_status(struct task_struct *t, unsigned long __user *status)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/sys.c:2338:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'arch_set_indir_br_lp_status' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
2338 | int __weak arch_set_indir_br_lp_status(struct task_struct *t, unsigned long __user *status)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/sys.c:2343:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'arch_lock_indir_br_lp_status' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
2343 | int __weak arch_lock_indir_br_lp_status(struct task_struct *t, unsigned long __user *status)

Can the definitions be added to include/linux/mm.h alongside the
*_shadow_stack_status() definitions?
