For 5.0-rc6:
ffffffff8225b4c0 d types__ptrace
ffffffff8225b4e0 D root_user
ffffffff8225b580 D init_user_ns
For 5.0-rc6 + 81ec3f3c4c4
ffffffff8225b580 d types__ptrace
ffffffff8225b5a0 D root_user
ffffffff8225b640 D init_user_ns
The sigpending and __count are in the same cachline.

I'll try it and report back.

Yes, seems the Xeon Phi is using 72 Silvermont cores. And the less bigger
platform I tested was a 2 sockets 48C/96T Cascadelake platform which
doesn't reproduce the regression.
