How should we proceed to get that fixed in time for 5.9? For the older

Why is this still broken?
Sorry, I hadn't seen this. I'm not seeing a boot failure on 5.9-rc8 with just
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCPOY=y in addition to defconfig (on QEMU, though I doubt
that's relevant here). It looks like the fix is to essentially revert this,
which I'm fine with, but I'd prefer to have a failing test to make sure this
doesn't break again.
Guo: I don't see an actual patch (signed off and such) posted for this, do you
mind posting one? Otherwise I'll take a crack at constructing the revert
myself.
