WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/pti.c:256 pti_clone_pgtable+0x298/0x2dc WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/pti.c:394 pti_clone_pgtable+0x29a/0x2dc The backtraces are repeated multiple times. Please see https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-x86-master/builds/253/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio for complete logs. Bisect log is attached. Reverting this patch fixes the problem.
