This reverts commit 887c5c12e80c ("um: work around sched_yield not yielding in time-travel mode") added with v6.12.25.

Reason being that the patch depends on at least commit 0b8b2668f998 ("um: insert scheduler ticks when userspace does not yield") in order to build. Otherwise it fails with:

| /usr/bin/ld: arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.o: in function `handle_syscall': | linux-6.12.27/arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c:43:(.text+0xa2): undefined | reference to `tt_extra_sched_jiffies' | collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The author Benjamin Berg commented: "I think it is better to just not backport commit 0b8b2668f998 ("um: insert scheduler ticks when userspace does not yield") "

Just in case, this throws someone else for a space-time loop:

What's interessting/very strange strange about this time-travel stuff: |commit 0b8b2668f998 ("um: insert scheduler ticks when userspace does not yield")

$ git describe 0b8b2668f998 => v6.12-rc2-43-g0b8b2668f998 (from what I know this is 43 patches on top of v6.12-rc2 as per the man page: "The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit. [...] it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit."

But it was merged as part of: uml-for-linus-6.13-rc1 : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1155823186.11802667.1732921581257.JavaMail.zimb... --- arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h | 2 -- arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c | 11 ----------- 2 files changed, 13 deletions(-)
