And it's a 6.3 regression, as 6.2.8 works fine:

  $ make run
  (...)
  Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#2)
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/g/public/linux/master'
  126 test(s) passed.
  $ tail  run.out 
  Errors during this test: 0
  
  Running test 'protection'
  0 -fstackprotector                                               [OK]
  Errors during this test: 0
  
  Total number of errors: 0
  Leaving init with final status: 0
  [    3.388706] ACPI: PM: Preparing to enter system sleep state S5
  [    3.389424] reboot: Power down

Now let's have fun bisecting it!
