Liam,

This is how I am building the kernel:

make O=$BUILD defconfig && make O=$BUILD kvm_guest.config && \
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -O $BUILD -r $BUILD/.config
kernel/configs/syzkaller-recommended.config && \
make O=$BUILD -j`nproc`

My syzkaller-recommended.config is:

CONFIG_KCOV=y
CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL=y
CONFIG_KCOV_ENABLE_COMPARISONS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y
CONFIG_SECURITYFS=y
# CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set
CONFIG_KASAN=y
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION=y
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY=y
CONFIG_FAILSLAB=y
CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=y
CONFIG_FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST=y
CONFIG_FAIL_IO_TIMEOUT=y
CONFIG_FAIL_FUTEX=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y
CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC=y
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y
CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT=140
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=100


So, it is "defconfig" + syzkaller debug features; sorry for being a
bit too brief in my first report.

The gcc version is:
gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0
Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

But I doubt that the gcc version is really relevant.

I am running this in a pretty simple qemu instance. I can provide more
information on my qemu setup if needed.
