[RFC][PATCH] powerpc/oops: Provide disassembly on OOPS

This patch is tied to xmon, it can be refactored out better later if required. The idea is to provide disassembly using xmon so that when we get an OOPS we see something like the following below ... NIP [c063a230] lkdtm_WARNING+0x0/0x10 LR [c063986c] lkdtm_do_action+0x3c/0x80

linux-next: build failure in the powerpc allyesconfig build

Hi all, After mergeing everything but Andrew's tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this: kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0xc000 out of range in relative mode I have no idea what caused this, so I have left the powerpc allyesconfig build broken

[PATCH v2] powerpc/powernv: Initialise nest mmu

From: Alistair Popple POWER9 contains an off core mmu called the nest mmu (NMMU). This is used by other hardware units on the chip to translate virtual addresses into real addresses. The unit attempting an address translation provides the majority of the context required

Linux 4.9: Reported regressions as of Sunday, 2016-12-04

Hi! Here is my fifth regression report for Linux 4.9. It lists 11 regressions I'm aware of. 4 of them are new; 6 got fixed since the last report -- that was two weeks ago, because I yet again didn't find any spare time to compile a report last Sunday :-/ As always: Are you aware of any other
