To reproduce:
# build kernel
cd linux
cp config-6.13.0-rc1-00162-g85ad413389ae .config
make -j$(nproc) HOSTCC=gcc-11 CC=gcc-11 ARCH=i386 olddefconfig prepare modules_prepare bzImage modules
make -j$(nproc) HOSTCC=gcc-11 CC=gcc-11 ARCH=i386 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=<mod-install-dir> modules_install
cd <mod-install-dir>
find lib/ | cpio -o -H newc --quiet | gzip > modules.cgz
git clone https://github.com/intel/lkp-tests.git
cd lkp-tests
bin/lkp qemu -k <bzImage> -m modules.cgz job-script # job-script is attached in this email
# if come across any failure that blocks the test,
# please remove ~/.lkp and /lkp dir to run from a clean state.
config and job-script files are attached in original report.
one thing we want to mention is this seems only reproducible with i386 config in
our tests.
