Hi Colin,
If you're interested, the HARDENED_ATOMIC team is looking for people to help porting the feature to other architectures. ARM is a reasonable candidate for someone new to the project. I have begun this effort myself, but if you'd like to collaborate I'd be grateful.
It essentially involves porting the original arch-specific features from PAX_REFCOUNT into Elena Reshetova's official HARDENED_ATOMIC tree, which can be found at https://github.com/esreshetova/linux-stable
Please contact me if you have any questions; I'd be glad to help!
Thanks,
David
