6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5b3cde198878b2f3269d5e7efbc0d514899b1fd8 upstream. This reverts commit 7d1405c71df21f6c394b8a885aa8a133f749fa22. This causes segfaults in some cases, as reported by Milian: ``` sudo /usr/bin/perf record -z --call-graph dwarf -e cycles -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls ... [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted) Aborted ``` Backtrace with GDB + debuginfod: ``` malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted) Thread 1 "perf" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. __pthread_kill_implementation (threadid=<optimized out>, signo=signo@entry=6, no_tid=no_tid@entry=0) at pthread_kill.c:44 Downloading source file /usr/src/debug/glibc/glibc/nptl/pthread_kill.c 44 return INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P (ret) ?
