allmodconfig on amd64 enables 3-level paging, whcih produces nop
pgd_populate().

defconfig + enabling CONFIG_KASAN would trigger the issue:

mm/built-in.o: In function `kasan_populate_zero_shadow':
/home/kas/linux/la57/mm/kasan/kasan_init.c:161: undefined reference to 
`kasan_zero_p4d'
/home/kas/linux/la57/mm/kasan/kasan_init.c:161: undefined reference to 
`kasan_zero_p4d'
Makefile:983: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Sure.

Thanks.
