It's an x86_64 randconfig. You may find it in the attachment of the

Yeah the bug may have been triggered in other places. If you see
anything valuable from this bisect result, it would be great. Judging
from the comparison of 64d1cdfbe2 and its parent commit 3332ee2a17,
it's pretty reproducible, so easy to verify the possible fixes.
