Thank you for backporting this patchset to -stable. FWIW, the test

trim it
down further you can find solace in that it does not break anything.
Hmm. The patches in your attachements are whitespace-damaged. I was
going to apply that series and see what the difference was to my
minimal trial, but with the corruption that isn't possible.
I didn't find anything obviously wrong in my series, so..
Could you send the patches you used for your backport with the
whitespace fixed, and preferably with the patch numbering explained?
The numbering is just so I can apply the patches in the right order
with a for loop in the packaging script. The missing 7* was the
experimental patches we tried which moved has_fpu in the thread_info
struct (which did not work).
The patchset is simply made of:

modification:
-#define safe_address (kstat_cpu(0).cpustat.user)
instead of:
-#define safe_address
(__get_cpu_var(kernel_cpustat).cpustat[CPUTIME_USER])
