Sorry if this is obvious, but why was this patch picked up for -stable?
I don't see the upstream commit tagging -stable, so curious why this was
done.
I don't think this patch should be pushed to -stable since this is not
really a bug fix. There are also other dependencies for this change (see
commit a64e3f35a45f4a, for instance), including how userspace (perf)
builds out the retprobe argument. As such, please drop this from -stable
(for 3.18. 4.4 and 4.9).
Thanks,
Naveen
