This is due to commit 9b2d4e06d7f1 ("powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit"), which is part of a large patch series and can not easily be reverted.
Guess I'll stop doing ppc:allmodconfig builds in v4.4.y ?
Michael, I thought this patch series was supposed to fix ppc issues, not add to them :)
Well it fixes some, but creates others :}
Any ideas on what to do here?
Turning off CONFIG_CBE_RAS (obscure IBM Cell Blade RAS features) is sufficient to get it building. Is that an option for your build tests Guenter?
I could turn it off unconditionally, meaning it would affect all other branches. I would rather stop building ppc:allmodconfig for v4.4.y.
