Hello,
I compiled the latest Git kernel with the new PowerPC updates 5.11-1 [1]
today. Unfortunately this kernel doesn't boot on my FSL P5040 board [2]
and in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine [3].
I was able to revert the new PowerPC updates 5.11-1 [4] and after a new
compiling, the kernel boots without any problems on my FSL P5040 board.
Please check the new PowerPC updates 5.11-1.
Thanks,
Christian

Hello Denis,
I have bisected [5] and d0e3fc69d00d1f50d22d6b6acfc555ccda80ad1e
(powerpc/vdso: Provide __kernel_clock_gettime64() on vdso32) [6] is the
first bad commit.
I was able to revert this bad commit and after a new compiling, the
kernel boots without any problems.
Thanks,
Christian

Hello,
I created a patch for reverting the bad commit. I can boot the latest
Git kernel compiled with this patch on my FSL P5040 board and in a
virtual e5500 QEMU machine.

Hello Denis,
I have bisected [5] and d0e3fc69d00d1f50d22d6b6acfc555ccda80ad1e (powerpc/vdso: Provide
__kernel_clock_gettime64() on vdso32) [6] is the first bad commit.
I was able to revert this bad commit and after a new compiling, the kernel boots without any problems.
That's puzzling.
Can you describe the symptoms exactly ? What do you mean by "the kernel doesn't boot" ? Where and
how does it stops booting ?
This commit only adds a new VDSO call, for getting y2038 compliant time. At the time I implemented
it there was no libc using it yet. Is your libc using it ?
Where can I find all the elements you are using to boot with QEMU ? Especially the file
MintPPC32-X5000.img
Can you also share you kernel config
Thanks
Christophe

It stops during the disk initialisation.
This commit only adds a new VDSO call, for getting y2038 compliant
time. At the time I implemented it there was no libc using it yet. Is
your libc using it ?
I tested it with ubuntu MATE 16.04.7 LTS (32-bit userland + 64-bit
kernel) and with Debian Sid (MintPPC and Fienix 32-bit userland + 64-bit
kernel) on my FSL P5040 board and in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine. How
can I figure out if the libc use it?
Where can I find all the elements you are using to boot with QEMU ?

Hello,
I compiled the latest Git kernel today and unfortunately the boot issue
still exists.
I was able to reduce the patch for reverting the changes. In this way we
know the problematic code now.
vdso-v2.patch:

With this patch, the uImage boots without any problems on my FSL P5040

Hello Michael,
I tested your fixes branch today and the kernel boots without any problems.
Thanks a lot for fixing the issue.

Hello,
I compiled the RC5 of kernel 5.11 today. Unfortunately KVM HV doesn't
work anymore on my FSL P5040 board [1]. I tested it with QEMU 5.0.0
today [2]. The virtual e5500 QEMU machine works with the "RC4 with KVM
HV" and with the "RC5 without KVM HV". The complete system freezes if I
use KVM HV with the RC5.
I have bisected and 785025820a6a565185ce9d47fdd8d23dbf91dee8
(powerpc/mm/highmem: use __set_pte_at() for kmap_local()) [3] is the
first bad commit.
I was able to revert this bad commit and after a new compiling, KVM HV
works again. I created a patch for reverting the commit. [4] Please
find attached the kernel config. I use one uImage for the virtual
machine and for the P5040 board.
Please check the first bad commit.
Thanks,
Christian

Hello,
I compiled the RC6 of kernel 5.11 today and KVM HV works again.
Therefore I don't need the patch below anymore.
Many thanks for solving the issue,
