For v4.9.105-30-ge0f8632 (4.9.106-rc1-00030-ge0f8632):
Build results: total: 148 pass: 148 fail: 0 Qemu test results: total: 139 pass: 137 fail: 2 Failed tests: mips64:malta_defconfig:nosmp mips64:malta_defconfig:smp
Qemu tests fail with:
This architecture does not have kernel memory protection. random: fast init done Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a
While tracking this down, I found commit 4e4636cf981b ("objtool: Enclose contents of unreachable() macro in a block"), which says "... Guenter Roeck reported a boot failure in mips64 ...". Go figure. Applying commit 4e4636cf981b on top of v4.9.106-rc1 indeed fixes the problem.
An additional note: It appears that neither 009615ab7fd4 ("USB: serial: cp210x: use tcflag_t to fix incompatible pointer type") nor 0fde7ad71ee3 ("sparc64: Fix build warnings with gcc 7") made it into v4.9.106-rc1, even though you mentioned that they did, or at least I think you did. What happened ?
I "switched" trees for 4.9 for this release. Those patches are still in a queue, but I wanted to have this release only be about the objtool changes to make it easier to narrow down any potential issues. I'll do a new 4.9 release after this one with those patches in it.
thanks,
