The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: do not enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-kconfigdebug-do-not-enable-debug_preempt-by-default.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: do not enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2023 12:39:42 +0900

In workloads where this_cpu operations are frequently performed,
enabling DEBUG_PREEMPT may result in significant increase in
runtime overhead due to frequent invocation of
__this_cpu_preempt_check() function.

This can be demonstrated through benchmarks such as hackbench where this
configuration results in a 10% reduction in performance, primarily due to
the added overhead within memcg charging path.

Therefore, do not to enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default and make users aware
of its potential impact on performance in some workloads.
