Thanks, Christophe. Stan, please test the following build. $ git remote add chleroy-linux https://github.com/chleroy/linux.git -f -t bugtest ... $ git checkout chleroy-linux/bugtest HEAD is now at 63e3756d1bdf powerpc/interrupts: Also perform KUAP/KUEP lock and usertime accounting on NMI $ cp ../dot-config-powermac-5.13 .config $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_PPC_KUAP -e CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG -e CONFIG_VMAP_STACK $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- -j4 clean olddefconfig vmlinux $ egrep "CONFIG_PPC_KUAP|CONFIG_VMAP_STACK" .config $ strings vmlinux |grep "Linux version" If that kernel produces errors, I'd try a second build as well: $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_PPC_KUAP -e CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG -d CONFIG_VMAP_STACK $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- -j4 clean olddefconfig vmlinux $ egrep "CONFIG_PPC_KUAP|CONFIG_VMAP_STACK" .config $ strings vmlinux |grep "Linux version" Please boot using the same kernel parameters as last time and capture the serial console logs. In case we're still dealing with intermittent bugs it might be necessary to repeat these tests so I suggest you retain the vmlinux files.
