I suspect proc_cgroup_show() is innocent and that perhaps
bpf_prepare_filter() had a memory scribble.  iirc there has been at
least one recent pretty serious bpf fix applied recently.  Can others
please take a look?  
I haven't been able to reproduce this on a 64-bit or 32-bit powerpc
machine here. But I don't run gentoo userspace, so I suspect I'm not
tripping the same path at boot. I did run the seccomp selftest and that
didn't trip it either.

cheers
Doing some fiddling around on another bug (bug #204375), I noticed that I get
this "kmalloc-4k (Tainted: G W ): Object padding overwritten" during boot only
when I boot from my btrfs partition, but not from my other ext4 partition. The
ext4 partition is not a clone, but pretty much the same stuff in the same
versions. My btrfs root is mounted with 'lazytime,compress=zstd:1', systemd is
242.

I built a 5.2.5 kernel on the Talos II with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y but here I
don't hit the bug, even if I boot from a btrfs partition with the same
settings. Have to test it on the G5 yet (kernel .config more similar to the G4
one than the Talos II one).
