Konfiguration of affected kernel 5.8-rc3

With 5.8-rc3 I get seccomp crashes when trying to read mail:

%  kmail
Use of deprecated not thread-safe setter, use setUrlRequestInterceptor instead.

KMail tries to start QtWebEngine repeatedly, but it does not work.

Reverting back to 5.8-rc2 fixes the issue.

This is caused by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e9c15badbb7b20ccdbadf5da14e0a68fbad51015.  Reverting the patch makes Chromium and related entities work correctly again.

Thanks, Michael. Another report linking to the same commit:

Comment 3 Martin Steigerwald 2020-07-13 08:15:23 UTC
Patch has been reverted in 5.8-rc4. Thus closing.
