Subject: Re: next/master bisection: baseline.login on qemu_x86_64
Hi Gustavo,
Please see the bisection report below about a boot failure.
Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're
trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one
looks valid.
The main kernel error from the log is:
[ 0.225243] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x9896808086a201: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
Thanks,
Guillaume
