Nothing immediately springs to mind.

MMU was on when we faulted (IR & DR), so it's not real mode weirdness.

That's:

  mflr    r9

Which is from:

	li	r10,0
	ld	r11,exception_marker at toc(r2)

The address that faulted c0000000026970e0 is ~38MB which looks plausible
for the exception marker, it's definitely not completely off in the weeds.

So it looks like we're just taking a spurious fault on the linear
mapping, which is .. bad.


And I've just hit it with your config on a machine here, but the crash
is different:

Which is very wrong.

I'm going to guess it's STRICT_KERNEL_RWX that's at fault.

And indeed with that off I can't reproduce.

Not sure why though.

cheers
