System.map (5.15-rc2 + patch, PowerMac G5 11,2)

(In reply to mpe from comment #8)
So it looks like you have actually overran your stack, rather than
something else clobbering your stack.

Can you attach your System.map for that exact kernel? We might be able
to work out what functions we were in when we overran.

You could also try changing CONFIG_THREAD_SHIFT to 15, that might keep
the system running a bit longer and give us some other clues.

cheers
Hm, interesting...

What I do to trigger this bug is building llvm-12 on the G5 via distcc (on the
other side is a 16-core Opteron) and MAKEOPTS="-j10 -l3". As the G5 got 16 GiB
RAM building runs in a zstd-compressed ext2 filesystem (/sbin/zram-init -d1 -s2
-azstd -text2 -orelatime -m1777 -Lvar_tmp_dir 49152 /var/tmp). Most of the time
the bug is triggered very shortly after the actual building starts via meson.
At this time the build directory /var/tmp/portage occupies about 800 MiB.

Also sometimes I don't get a proper stack trace via netconsole but this:
BUG: unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc000000037c82040
BUG: unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc000000037c80000

Please find the relevant System.map attached. I'll do another kernel build with
CONFIG_THREAD_SHIFT=15 and see if anything changes.

Thanks for investigating this!
