We've still got tip/tracing/immediates, with these commits from you:
$ git-log-line linus.. arch/x86/kernel/immediate.c ee563d6: immediate values: jump liveliness e26875a: Immediate Values - Jump 3fc8d03: Immediate Values - x86 Optimization NMI and MCE support
... but the topic is stalled right now, due to hpa having had objections. Have those concerns been resolved? (Peter Cc:-ed)
i'd have applied this fix, but it does not apply. The first chunk seems already be present (in a different form), the second chunk looks much different. Ingo
