I've just built and installed Linux 4.19.19, and it does indeed solve
the Emacs profiler bug, #34235. :-)
I see that the patch has been installed in 4.20.6, 4.19.19, and 4.14.97.
Are there any plans to install it into 4.9.x, the other live long term
support branch? The reason I ask is to make an entry into Emacs's
PROBLEMS file, telling users and distributions which kernel versions to
upgrade to.
