Subject: [Linux v5.11-rc7] x86: entry: Leftover of _TIF_SINGLESTEP define?

Hi,

congrats to Linux v5.11-rc7.

after commit 6342adcaa683 ("entry: Ensure trap after single-step on
system call return"):

$ git grep '\_TIF_SINGLESTEP' arch/x86/
arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:#define _TIF_SINGLESTEP
 (1 << TIF_SINGLESTEP)

Is this a leftover and can be removed (now)?

Thanks.

Regards,
- Sedat -
