We see this build regression on PowerPC with GCC-8 and GCC-12: -----8<----- /builds/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c: In function 'rtas_flash_init': /builds/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:717:22: error: implicit declaration of function 'kmem_cache_create_usercopy'; did you mean 'kmem_cache_create'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] flash_block_cache = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("rtas_flash_cache", ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ kmem_cache_create /builds/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:717:20: error: assignment to 'struct kmem_cache *' from 'int' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion] flash_block_cache = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("rtas_flash_cache", ^ ----->8-----
That's on defconfig and cell_defconfig.
Bisection points to "powerpc/rtas_flash: allow user copy to flash block cache objects" (5190538c66e5). Reverting that patch makes the build pass again.
Now dropped, thanks.
