Please, don't put splats in changelogs like this, simply put the
relevant information in. Which you've already done below, so the above
is completely redundant.

Luckily this requires root, but please don't hand reproducers like this
to the kiddies :/

*sigh*

You forgot Fixes, I'm thinking this is due to commit: 058fe1c0440e6.

With all that, I seem to end up with the below.

Subject: perf: Fix list corruption in perf_cgroup_switch()

From: Song Liu <song@...nel.org>

There's list corruption on cgrp_cpuctx_list. This happens on the
following path:

  perf_cgroup_switch: list_for_each_entry(cgrp_cpuctx_list)
      cpu_ctx_sched_in
         ctx_sched_in
            ctx_pinned_sched_in
              merge_sched_in
                  perf_cgroup_event_disable: remove the event from the list

Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to allow removing an entry during
iteration.
