Hello,

Compiling issue for e5500 machines for the RC1 of kernel 7.0:

arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c: In function 'kvmppc_e500_tlb_init':
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c:923:26: error: assignment to 'struct
tlbe_priv *' from incompatible pointer type 'struct tlbe_ref *' [-
Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
   923 |  vcpu_e500->gtlb_priv[0] = kzalloc_objs(struct tlbe_ref,
       |                          ^
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c:928:26: error: assignment to 'struct
tlbe_priv *' from incompatible pointer type 'struct tlbe_ref *' [-
Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
   928 |  vcpu_e500->gtlb_priv[1] = kzalloc_objs(struct tlbe_ref,

Temporary solution: # CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION is not set

Please solve this issue.

Must be one of:

189f164e573e Convert remaining multi-line kmalloc_obj/flex GFP_KERNEL uses
bf4afc53b77a Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default
GFP_KERNEL argument
69050f8d6d07 treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar
types

Can you try following change:
