Ah, thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, I missed !CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC + CONFIG_CORE_SCHED in my test
build coverage. The issue isn't in the series I was submitting, but
is from the new (and very cool) patches from K Prateek to get core
scheduling working better with proxy-exec that I included in my full
stack. I've added a quick fix to the top of that branch and will get
it folded down properly in my WIP tree for the next version.
