This reverts commit 00fdec98d9881bf5173af09aebd353ab3b9ac729. (but only from 5.2 and prior kernels)
The original commit was a preventive fix based on code-review and was auto-picked for stable back-port (for better or worse). It was OK for v5.3+ kernels, but turned up needing an implicit change 68e5c6f073bcf70 "(ARC: entry: EV_Trap expects r10 (vs. r9) to have exception cause)" merged in v5.3 which itself was not backported. So to summarize the stable backport of this patch for v5.2 and prior kernels is busted and it won't boot.
The obvious solution is backport 68e5c6f073bcf70 but that is a pain as it doesn't revert cleanly and each of affected kernels (so far v4.19, v4.14, v4.9, v4.4) needs a slightly different massaged varaint. So the easier fix is to simply revert the backport from 5.2 and prior. The issue was not a big deal as it would cause strace to sporadically not work correctly.
Waldemar Brodkorb first reported this when running ARC uClibc regressions on latest stable kernels (with offending backport). Once he bisected it, the analysis was trivial, so thx to him for this.

Can this revert be please applied to 4.19 and older kernels for the next cycle.
Or is there is a procedural issue given this revert is not in mainline. I've described the issue in detail above so if there's a better/desirable way of reverting it from backports, please let me know.
Thx,

THis is fine, sorry, it's just in a backlog of lots of stable patches...
We will get to it soon.
