It's possible, I think that's really unlikely given that it's just Debian's
gcc, which is as close to mainline as the version I was using.

Uwe's DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW patch from a while ago might
help if this was the problem though:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200108082913.29710-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de/

My best guess is something going wrong in the interrupt
that triggered the preempt_schedule() which ended up calling
task_stack_end_corrupted() in schedule_debug(), as you suggested
earlier.
