Oops, yes. I'll actually do some proper testing on a host with TSC
scaling this week. Thanks.

That one confuses me. The crash is actually in debugfs, as it's
registering the per-vm or per-vcpu stats. I can't imagine *how* that's
occurring. Or see why the availability of TSC scaling would cause it to
show up for you and not me. Can I have your .config please?

First thought would be that there's some change in the KVM structures
and you have some stale object files using the old struct, but then I
realise I forgot to actually *remove* the now-unused
kvmclock_update_work from x86's struct kvm_arch anyway.

I'll try to reproduce, as I think I want to *know* what's going on
here, even if I am going to drop that patch as mentioned in 
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/a6723ac9e0169839cb33e8022a47c2de213866ac.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Are you able to load that vmlinux in gdb and
(gdb) list *start_creating+0x80
(gdb) list *kvm_create_vm_debugfs+0x28b

Thanks again.
