Hi All,

I tried to compile the kernel 4.1.28 today. Unfortunately it doesn't compile because of an undeclared variable PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC_COMP.

Error message:

    powerpc: Update TM user feature bits in scan_features()

    [ Upstream commit 4705e02498d6d5a7ab98dfee9595cd5e91db2017 ]

    We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
    PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
    bit.

    At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
    the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
    thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

    This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
    support TM.

PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC_COMP isn't defined or doesn't exist in the following files:

arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h
arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.c
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/tm.h

That means the following patches aren't included in the 4.1.28 source code:

Temporary solution:

Not suitable for 4.1-stable (no PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC_COMP).

- * If the kernel doesn't support TM (ie CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n),
-     * we don't want to turn on TM here, so we use the *_COMP versions
-     * which are 0 if the kernel doesn't support TM.
+ * If the kernel doesn't support TM (ie. CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n),
+     * we don't want to turn on CPU_FTR_TM here, so we use CPU_FTR_TM_COMP
+     * which is 0 if the kernel doesn't support TM.
      */
