Unfortunately I can't reproduce it with a C program. It reproduces with the following syzkaller program within a minute, though: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/d09118fb9d986a9385487d80a1b50680/raw/884c68d22c3a80778ae596a6c5daf7467ea41b68/gistfile1.txt It can be executed following these instructions: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/How-to-execute-syzkaller-programs I run syz-execprog as: ./syz-execprog -repeat=0 -procs=8 -sandbox=none gistfile1.txt Note that syz_kvm_setup_cpu is a pseudo syscall that setups vcpu into a complex state: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/executor/common_kvm_amd64.h#L271 My bet would be on some race where VM memory is overwritten concurrently, and it affects either guest execution or emulate_instruction in a bad way... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
