I would welcome a powerpcspe porter to join the kernel team, but until that happens you should not expect any fixes from our side. (If you had a porterbox available, this might be a more reasonable request.) The breaking commit appears to be: commit 3cdfcbfd32b9d1c0d4a6fa80ee9c390927aab948 Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Date: Wed Aug 30 14:12:25 2017 +1000 powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs The other reference to ptesync in this file is guarded by "#ifdef __powerpc64__", so most likely that's needed around the new use.
