My guess right now is that it's the merge commit's doing, see the diff
below. Could you undo just the restore_sigcontext() chunk of it, in
arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c:

@@@ -157,20 -96,9 +94,9 @@@ restore_sigcontext(struct pt_regs *regs

I've attached it as a patch below, apply it with "patch -p1 -R"

(I've also attached the full merge commit further below - just in case
it's in another portion of it.)
