Thanks, that's one huuuge kernel you're building. :)

I got another one of these "Unpatched thunk" and it seems connected
with selftest/kvm.

But running selftests/kvm one by one did not trigger the bug.

Which commands are you exactly running?

I'll try to reproduce here.

I think I have a reproducer here on the latest torvalds vanilla tree (on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS box):

root# tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/nx_huge_pages_test.sh
Running test with CAP_SYS_BOOT enabled
Running as root, skipping nx_huge_pages_test with CAP_SYS_BOOT disabled
root# git describe
v6.9-rc1-5-g928a87efa423
root#

Thx.

Not at all.

The stacktrace for the bug triggered by the above command was:
