The Change-Id fails to have any direct search hits at lore.kernel.org.
However, it turn up Roy's original patch, and clicking on the
message-Id in the "In-Reply-Field", it apperas Roy was replying to
this message:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210330205750.428816-1-keescook@chromium.org/

which is the head of this patch series:

Subject: [PATCH v8 0/6] Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscall

That being said, it would have been better if the original subject
line had been preserved, and it's yet another example of how the
lore.kernel.org URL is infinitely better than the Change-Id.  :-)
