Re: 6.2-rc7 fails building on Talos II: memory.c:(.text+0x2e14): undefined reference to `hash__tlb_flush'

[TLDR: I'm adding this report to the list of tracked Linux kernel
regressions; the text you find below is based on a few templates
paragraphs you might have encountered already in similar form.
See link in footer if these mails annoy you.]

As 6.2-rc6 was good on this machine I did a quick bisect which revealed this commit:

 # git bisect bad
1665c027afb225882a5a0b014c45e84290b826c2 is the first bad commit
[...]
Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced 1665c027afb225
#regzbot title powerpc: 6.2-rc7 fails building on Talos II
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
