The subject commit, 3804e937b0e252a7e42632fe6d9f898f1851a49c, causes a failure in the test suite for the IBM Advance Toolchain. The test in question uses "perf probe" to set a tracepoint at "main" in a newly built (with GCC 11) binary of "/bin/ld". With the patch applied, the command enters an infinte loop, calling libdw1 functions but making no progress.
The infinite loop can be found in the Linux kernel tools/perf/utils/probe-finder.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c?h=v5.11-rc5#n1190 Reverting this patch permits the command to succeed. PC
