The patch is committed into for-5.3/core branch.

Note that the branch is based on the last merge from livepatch.git.
As a result, the sefttest fails because of the regression in
the reliable stacktrace code.

You might want to base your development on the for-next branch.
Or you chould cherry pick the commit 7eaf51a2e094229b75cc0c31
("[PATCH] stacktrace: Unbreak stack_trace_save_tsk_reliable()").

Best Regards,
Petr

PS: I am leaving the fate of the other two patches into Miroslav's
hands ;-)
