Unfortunately, the vmlinux.xz file I downloaded from the link below seems to be different from the one that produced the crash, given that the LR address of c04cfeb8 does not seem to correspond with handle_mm_fault+0x60c/0xed0.
Can you please double check the artifacts?
Commit "mm: check against orig_pte for finish_fault()" introduced this, i.e. on yesterdays next reverting a066bab3c0eb made a i.MX6 boot again. A fix is discussed here:
Thanks for finding that. I have Peter's fix queued and shall push out a snapshot later today, for integration into linux-next.
