Funnily enough, I just built Linux next-20191121 and it has a NULL
dereference on start-up, which renders the system unusable.
Can anybody else please confirm? I enabled most of the new options since
the last linux-next a few days before.
I did just compile on an i7-4770K using my USB SSD to boot. I suppose
there is a tiny chance that the CPU had an error and produced bad code.
It is not my machine. It was pegged at 100 degrees Celsius the whole
time.... I do find it hard to believe that I am the first to notice it,
though. I cannot find any bug reports on this.
If this turns out to be an actual bug, is there a preferred way to
report it? It is probably not from pci subsystem.
I can do a bisect, but they consume a lot of time on a slow system.
Here is a preliminary bug report (assuming you are meant to report
linux-next bugs here):

Cheers!
