To confirm have you seen this on other stables as well or is this only
v6.5? For how long have you been seeing this?

So something managed to get flagged as having SVE state without having
the backing storage allocated. We *were* preempted in the SVE access
handler which does the allocation but I can't see the path that would
trigger that since we allocate the state before setting TIF_SVE. It's
possible the compiler did something funky, a decode of the backtrace
might help show that?
