Thanks!

Patch 1 is liable to conflict with come other stacktrace bits that may go in
for v5.19, so it'd be good if either that could be queued as a fix for
v5.1-rc4, or we'll have to figure out how to deal with conflicts later.

I assume that's the STACKLEAK_ERASING test?

I gave that a spin, but on arm64 that test is flaky even on baseline v5.18-rc1.
On x86_64 it seems consistent after 100s of runs. I'll go dig into that now. 

FWIW, I'm testing with defconfig + STACKLEAK + STACKLEAK_RUNTIME_DISABLE +
LKDTM, using GCC 11.1.0 from the kernel.org crosstool pages. When running the
test it passes a few times, then fails dramatically:
