Of course, and I should have attempted to reproduce without the driver. Fortunately that was easy: it is not an NVIDIA driver bug. Steps to reproduce: have CONFIG_MICROCODE=y and a suitable Intel processor, then do: echo mmiotrace >/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo none >/debug/tracing/current_tracer And you get this (snipped) oops: in mmio_trace_init mmiotrace: Disabling non-boot CPUs... kvm: disabling virtualization on CPU1 CPU 1 is now offline SMP alternatives: switching to UP code CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
