Hello,

syzbot found the following issue on:

HEAD commit:    2ab38c17 mailmap: remove the "repo-abbrev" comment
git tree:       upstream
console output: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/log.txt?x=15a25264d00000
kernel config:  https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/.config?x=ad43be24faf1194c
dashboard link: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=45b6fce29ff97069e2c5
userspace arch: arm64

Unfortunately, I don't have any reproducer for this issue yet.

IMPORTANT: if you fix the issue, please add the following tag to the commit:
Reported-by: syzbot+45b6fce29ff97069e2c5@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
This happens on arm64 instance with mte enabled.
There is a GPF in reiserfs_xattr_init on x86_64 reported:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=8abaedbdeb32c861dc5340544284167dd0e46cde
so I would assume it's just a plain NULL deref. Is this WARNING not
indicative of a kernel bug? Or there is something special about this
particular NULL deref?
Congratulations, you're the first person to trigger this warning!

This fires if we take an unexpected data abort in the kernel but when we
get into the fault handler the page-table looks ok (according to the CPU via
an 'AT' instruction). Are you using QEMU system emulation? Perhaps its
handling of AT isn't quite right.
Hi Will,

Yes, it's qemu-system-aarch64 5.2 with -machine virt,mte=on -cpu max.
Do you see any way forward for this issue? Can somehow prove/disprove
it's qemu at fault?
I've reproduced this crash (by taking [1] and changing
sys_memfd_create to 279), but it manifests as a normal null-ptr-deref
for me. I'm using the latest QEMU master. Which QEMU does syzbot use
exactly?
qemu-system-aarch64 5.2 from this container:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/tools/docker/syzbot/Dockerfile
you can get a prebuilt version with:
docker pull gcr.io/syzkaller/syzbot
Reproduced with this QEMU, still a normal null-ptr-deref. Where do I
find the full list of arguments that are passed to QEMU on syzbot?

I am yet to document all details of these new instances, but the
syzkaller config contains:
"qemu_args": "-machine
virt,virtualization=on,mte=on,graphics=on,usb=on -cpu max"
the rest are in vm/qemu/qemu.go
