The 5.15-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for testing.
One thing standing out in the diffs might be the m68k 'set_fs()' removal - not really a regression fix, but it has been pending for a while, and it turned out that the problems attributed to it were due to an entirely unrelated m68k signal handling issue. So with that fixed, we could get rid of set_fs from another architecture.
See this article for information on set_fs() and its removal.
