Hi, After upgrading my Power8 server from 5.10 LTS to 5.15 LTS, I started experiencing CPU hard lockups, usually rather quickly after boot:

As deb9b13eb2571fbde164ae012c77985fd14f2f02 seems to be a revert of 49a7d46a06c30c7beabbf9d1a8ea1de0f9e4fdfe, I suspect this problem might have existed before 49a7d46a06c30c7beabbf9d1a8ea1de0f9e4fdfe. I therefore tried to build 49a7d46a06c30c7beabbf9d1a8ea1de0f9e4fdfe and 49a7d46a06c30c7beabbf9d1a8ea1de0f9e4fdfe^1 to verify if the problem exists there as well, unfortunately these commits don't build due to the following compile error: kernel/smp.c:In function 'smp_init': ./include/linux/compiler.h:392:38:error: call to '__compiletime_assert_150' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: offsetof(struct task_struct, wake_entry_type) - offsetof(struct task_struct, wake_entry) != offsetof(struct __call_single_data, flags) - offsetof(struct __call_single_data, llist) 392 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) | ^ Is this report enough to revert deb9b13eb2571fbde164ae012c77985fd14f2f02 for now?
