It seems 4.19 stable backport is broken, upstream commit f7eea636c3d50
has:

and it's 4.19 counterpart (73c31bd92039):

(note the last argument to kvm_write_guest_virt_system() - it's NULL
instead of &e.

And v4.19.74 has 6e60900cfa3e (541ab2aeb282 upstream):

This all results in memset(NULL). (also, 6e60900cfa3e should come
*after* f7eea636c3d50 and not before but oh well..)

The following will likely fix the problem (untested):


I can send a patch to stable@ if needed.
