Subject: Freeze on ppc32 MPC8248 board with 5.2 kernel
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 15:30:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAESxVDiyXu+=6+YmLej3K=i55h3=Z9JLA8JgrDn3fEQGUuSq7Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

We have a ppc32 MPC8248 board that is working perfectly with the 4.19
kernel.
We have noticed two issues with the 5.2 kernel:

1) If the new CONFIG_PPC_KUAP (kernel userspace access protection) is
enabled the kernel freezes right after initializing all the drivers and
just before starting /sbin/init.

2) If CONFIG_PPC_KUAP is disabled the system starts up, but any user space
program will hang indefinitely after calling the GCC atomic
"__sync_bool_compare_and_swap".  This happens when nginx starts.  The same
nginx binary works fine on a 4.19 kernel.
