Please see below an automated bisection report for this
regression.  Several bisections were run on other x86 platforms
with i386_defconfig on a few revisions up to v4.18-rc5, they all
reached the same "bad" commit.


Unfortunately there isn't much to learn from the kernelci.org
boot logs as the kernel seems to crash very early on:

     https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/mainline/branch/master/kernel/v4.18-rc5/
     https://storage.kernelci.org/mainline/master/v4.18-rc4-160-gf353078f028f/x86/i386_defconfig/lab-mhart/lava-x86-celeron.html


It looks like stable-rc/linux-4.17.y is also broken with
i386_defconfig, which tends to confirm the "bad" commit found by
the automated bisection which was applied there as well:

     https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/stable-rc/branch/linux-4.17.y/kernel/v4.17.6-68-gbc0bd9e05fa1/


The automated bisection on kernelci.org is still quite new, so
please take the results with a pinch of salt as the "bad" commit
found may not be the actual root cause of the boot failure.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
Guillaume

commit e181ae0c5db9544de9c53239eb22bc012ce75033

     mm: zero unavailable pages before memmap init
     
     We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical
     memory, or kernel does not have access to.
     
     Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in
     e820.  Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here:
     
       https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html
     
     Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting
     commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
     memblock.reserved") fixes the issue.
     
     The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they
     were setup.
     
     The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of
     struct pages.
     
     A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing
     cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in
     zero_resv_unavail().
