Panic: GPF in kernel mode in fork_exit() (prior to FS mouont)

[David Wolfskill]

This was the "smoke test" boot after building:

FreeBSD  11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #253  r291193M/291193:1100090: Mon Nov 23 04:43:34 PST 2015     root at g1-252.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  amd64

and (as noted), it happened fairly early in the boot sequence --
before the file systems were mounted, but after the device probes.

It also affected my build machine (same source revision) the same way.

The most recent successful head built & booted on the machine was:

FreeBSD g1-252.catwhisker.org 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #252  r291159M/291159:1100090: Sun Nov 22 05:16:34 PST 2015     root at localhost:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  amd64


I was able to capture a crash dump (by issuing "panic" at the "db>
" prompt); I've copied the vmcore.8 & core.txt.8 to
<http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/head/>.  Here's an excerpt from
the core.txt.8:

I'm happy to test possible fixes.

Peace,
