If this is really a concern for all targets including PPC32, should it
be a separate patch with a Fixes: tag to be applied back in stable as well ?

I've managed to repro this by commening out the kasan_disable/enable
lines, and just booting in qemu without a disk attached:

Is that something that reproduces on ppc32?

I don't see it running the test_kasan tests, so I guess that matches up
with your experience.

I've debugged this a bit further. If I put a dump_stack() in
kernel_init() right before I call kernel_init_freeable(), I don't see
the splat. But if I put a dump_stack() immediately inside
kernel_init_freeable() I do see the splat. I wonder if some early init
code isn't setting up the stack quite right?

I don't see this in walking stacks that contain an interrupt frame, so I
think the correct thing is to tear out this code and debug the weird
stack frame stuff around kernel_init_freeable in parallel.

Thanks for your attention to detail.


I added a dump_stack() at the start of kernel_init_freeable() and I get nothing more than what follows:
