As Linus has indicated in: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CAHk- =whGd0dfaJNiWSR60HH5iwxqhUZPDWgHCQd446gH2Wu0yQ@mail.gmail.com/

the problem is the missing commit b23decf8ac91 ("sched: Initialize idle tasks only once"). Applying that on top of 6.12.2 fixes the problem.

We just encountered this issue in Gentoo as well when releasing a new kernel and adding that patch has resolved the issue.

Thought it best to share before I start to work on bisect....

No need to, just add b23decf8ac91 :)

cheers Holger

Excellent - missed that completely.  I will stop bisecting now, thank you so much.
