Looking at linux-rt-devel/linux-6.10.y-rt I see:
commit ca8b27c51f0962f8fb59e5acb23e0af791fb5c04

perf: Update the perf series
This is an all-in-one patch integrating the following changes:
- Merging Frederick's "Fix leaked sigtrap events" series as of v4 which
is a dependency.
- Update the "perf test sigtrap" fixup to v4 as posted.

But I think that is v4, right?
