Subject5.7.0 / BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference / setup_cpu_watcher
Hi,

I'm running a small Xen PVH domain and upgrading from vanilla 5.6.0 to
5.7.0 caused the splat below, really early during boot. The configuration
has not changed, all new "make oldconfig" prompts have been answered with
"N". Old and new config, dmesg are here:

http://nerdbynature.de/bits/5.7.0/

Searching the interwebs for similar reports didn't return much:

* drm_sched_get_cleanup_job: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1822984 -- but this
appears to be really DRM related. - https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/10/545

* A recent mm/vmstat patch, mentioning "device_offline" in its output
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11563009/

But other than a few overlapping strings, I guess all of that is totally
unrelated :(

Thanks,
Christian.


Note: that "Xen Platform PCI: unrecognised magic value" on the top appears
in 5.6 kernels as well, but no ill effects so far.
