Hmm, I had a read of that commit and the breakage sounded intentional.
I ran a git log --grep "0ebeea8ca8a4" & it seems like a mixed bag of
fixes tags. Whether or not it deserves the explicit tag, mentioning
the commit would be useful. The tag would be:
Fixes: 0ebeea8ca8a4 ("bpf: Restrict bpf_probe_read{, str}() only to archs where they work")

Thanks,
Conor.
