Hmm. "reserved bit violation" sounds like the page tables themselves
are corrupt.

PTE low 12 bits 163 is "global", "dirty+accessed" + "kernel
read-write", so that part looks fine. The top bit is NX. I'm not
seeing any reserved bits set.

The page directory bits look sane too (067 is just the normal state
for page tables).

The PTE does have bit 44 set. I think that's what triggers the
problem. This is presumably on a machine with 44 physical address
bits?

The faulting code is all in memset, and it's just doing "rep stosq" to
fill memory with zeroes, and we have

RAX: 0000000000000000 (the zero pattern)
RCX: 00000000000008a0 (repeat count)
RDI: ffffb1e78165d000 (the target address)

and that target address looks odd. If I read it right, it's at the
41TB mark in the direct-mapped area.

But I am probably mis-reading this.

Better bring in a few more x86 people. We did have some page table
work this time around, with both the entry code changes but also the
vmalloc faulting removal.

It doesn't _look_ like it's in the vmalloc range, though. But with
that RCX value, it's certainly doing more than a single page.

Can you re-create it with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, and run it
through scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh to give more details on where it
happens.
