Compiler bug? HW issue? Probably one of those, yea. Removing the instruction addresses, the only difference between the two compiles is: https://xn--4db.cc/Rrn8usaX/diff#line-440 So either there's some alignment going on here, a compiler thing I haven't spotted yet, or some very fragile interrupt/preemption behavior that's interacting with this, either on the kernel side or the QEMU side. (I've never touched real HW for this; I just got nerd sniped when wondering why my wireguard CI was failing...) Jason
