Summary0000645: KVM AMD-V Random Crashes
DescriptionHello. I run many Almalinux systems with various AMD CPUs, a mix of Zen4 and Zen5. Over the years kernel patches for Zen4 bugs (which are many) have been pushed to fix stability particularly regarding virtualization platforms or nested virtualization. Over the past year or two I've still had seemingly completely random crashes for various reasons and I'm stumped. The most recent crash was on an Almalinux 10 system, kernel 6.12 (though similar crashes on mainline), with an Epyc 4464P processor.

The things that stick out in my vmcore dump in /var/crash:

[5516734.848500] Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
[5516734.848872] CPU: 13 UID: 107 PID: 3126435 Comm: CPU 0/KVM Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0-124.52.1.el10_1.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(voluntary)
[5516734.849343] Hardware name: Supermicro AS -3015MR-H8TNR/H13SRD-F, BIOS 1.8 12/23/2025
[5516734.849473] RIP: 0010:srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5

Attached is a full copy of the vmcore-dmesg crash from my original file (to cut out the standard/useless log)... Anyone have any idea on this? It's seemingly impossible to reproduce, and is random, and seems to be related to a previous flaw mitigation patch for AMD, and related to memory corruption or vulnerability from a guest virtual machine.

I thought about filing a kernel bug report but bugzilla is down, so hopefully someone here might have some insight. I have other AMD Zen4 EPYC systems with rare, random crashes, also related to the CPU/memory seemingly.
