Hi everyone,

Keith, thanks for testing! It is fantastic news that the test kernel
fixes the issue, and our theory is correct, and we are on the right
track.

I also tested both test kernels myself, and can confirm that reverting
"randomize_kstack: Improve entropy diffusion" fixes the issue, and that
"randomize_kstack: Remove non-functional per-arch entropy filtering" has
no improvement at all, and still has the issue.

So, I think the way forward is to do the unpopular thing, which is to
revert "randomize_kstack: Improve entropy diffusion".

We should never have changed something so fundamental as the kernel
thread stack size on a stable kernel. We can do that on the development
release sure, but not on LTS kernels.

I will have a talk with the Kernel team about it, but I will begin
preparing the patches and writing a SRU template.

Thanks,
Matthew
