            Bug ID: 203839
           Summary: Kernel 5.2-rc3 fails to boot on a PowerMac G4 3,6:
                    systemd[1]: Failed to bump fs.file-max, ignoring:
                    invalid argument
           Product: Platform Specific/Hardware
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.2-rc3
          Hardware: PPC-32
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: PPC-32
          Assignee: platform_ppc-32@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: erhard_f@mailbox.org
        Regression: No

failed boot, screenshot 5.2-rc3

The system boots fine with kernel 5.1.7. Starting with 5.2-rc1 the G4 got
problems to correctly finish booting. With 5.2-rc3 basic boot process seems to
complete, but crashes when handing control over to systemd:

systemd[1]: Failed to bump fs.file-max, ignoring: invalid argument
systemd[1]: segfault (11) at 0 nip 0 ir 0 code 1
systemd[1]: Bad NIP, not dumping instructions
[...]

For more details see the screenshot. Kernel 5.2-rc1 errors out even earlier
(see screenshot) with a different error. Also this problem maybe is 32bit
specific. Tried 5.2-rc3 on a PowerMac G5 which boots successfully without
problems.

root is ext4, boot is ext2, systemd is v241.

Could you try and revert the following commits ?

38b4564cf042 powerpc/32: don't do syscall stuff in transfer_to_handler
1a4b739bbb4f powerpc/32: implement fast entry for syscalls on BOOKE
b86fb88855ea powerpc/32: implement fast entry for syscalls on non BOOKE

Thanks

--- Comment #5 from Christophe Leroy (christophe.leroy@c-s.fr) ---
Then the problem is not due to the rework of syscalls.

Are you able to bisect ?

    powerpc/32s: set up an early static hash table for KASAN.

    KASAN requires early activation of hash table, before memblock()
    functions are available.

    This patch implements an early hash_table statically defined in
    __initdata.

    During early boot, a single page table is used.

    For hash32, when doing the final init, one page table is allocated
    for each PGD entry because of the _PAGE_HASHPTE flag which can't be
    common to several virt pages. This is done after memblock get
    available but before switching to the final hash table, otherwise
    there are issues with TLB flushing due to the shared entries.

Argh !

CONFIG_SMP must (again) be the reason we missed it.

Can you please try the change below ?

Applied your change on top of 5.2-rc4. The G4 boots fine again, thanks!

The fix meanwhile found it's way in kernel 5.2-rc7 which boots just fine.
