Sure. It's the .config I use for fuzzing so it's rather big (attached).

The cmdline is:

[    0.000000] Command line: noapic noacpi pci=conf1 reboot=k panic=1 i8042.direct=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1 i8042.nopnp=1 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=serial i8042.noaux=1 numa=fake=32 init=/virt/init zcache ftrace_dump_on_oops debugpat kvm.mmu_audit=1 slub_debug=FZPU rcutorture.rcutorture_runnable=0 loop.max_loop=64 zram.num_devices=4 rcutorture.nreaders=8 oops=panic nr_hugepages=1000 numa_balancing=enable softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace=1 root=/dev/root rw rootflags=rw,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L rootfstype=9p init=/virt/init

And the memory map:

[    0.000000] e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

I think I misunderstood your question here. With >1GB is triggers a panic() when
KASAN fails the memblock allocation. With <=1GB it fails a bit later in boot just
because 1GB isn't enough to load everything - so it fails in some other random
spot as it runs on out memory.


Thanks,
