This is my qemu cmdline with kfence.sample_interval=0
$ qemu-system-aarch64 --enable-kvm -cpu cortex-a53 -kernel
Image-20201110-test -serial stdio -monitor none -nographic -m 2G -M
virt -fsdev local,id=root,path=/srv/kvm/tmp/stretch/arm64-test,security_model=none,writeout=immediate
-device virtio-rng-pci -device
virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=root,mount_tag=/dev/root -append "root=/dev/root
rootfstype=9p rootflags=trans=virtio console=ttyAMA0,38400n8
earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 initcall_debug softlockup_panic=0
security=none kpti=no kfence.sample_interval=0"

This is the result, I managed to get to the prompt. see
https://people.linaro.org/~anders.roxell/output-next-20201110-test-2.log

Cheers,
Anders
