Greetings!

Both my PowerMac G5 and my Talos II (running a BE kernel+system) fail to boot a KCSAN-enabled kernel. Same kernel without KSCAN enabled boots just fine.

I tried to dig a little deeper with a stripped down .config on the G5 with CONFIG_KCSAN=y, CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y and finally got some output via CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_G5=y. The machine freezes before output via serial console or netconsole is available so I had to take screen shots and transcribed them.

On EARLY_DEBUG_G5 the last output (there's some before but it gets overwritten) shown on the screen is:

In contrast to the G5 and Talos II KCSAN works ok on my PowerMac G4 DP. So this is probably ppc64 specific?
