    no. A quick grep shows that it is in a file that _your_ changes in
    Linus' latest have touched:

    arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c

    Kobject: change arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c to use kobject_creat

    x86.git changed nothing to cause a crash in kobject_uevent_env(), and
    nothing has changed anything near this code anyway.

    We havent had a runtime (non-boot related) crash in x86.git for quite
    some time. It's rock solid and dependable, and the only significant
    change today were your upstream kobject commits.
