Still a problem.
I don't understand, gcc bug ?
The offending argument is 'const ptrdiff_t object_index'
We have:
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/posix_types.h:typedef long __kernel_ptrdiff_t;
include/linux/types.h:typedef __kernel_ptrdiff_t ptrdiff_t;
And get:

Rule #1: If you do not understand what is happening, it is not a
compiler bug. I'm not saying that it isn't, just that it is much more
likely something else.

This is declared as
const ptrdiff_t object_index = meta ? meta - kfence_metadata : -1;
so maybe something with that goes wrong? What happens if you delete the
(useless) "const" here?

No it's 32 bits. The code in posix-types.h is
#ifdef __powerpc64__
...
#else
...
typedef long __kernel_ptrdiff_t;

The obvious thing to try is changing it to 'int'.
That will break 64bit builds, but if it fixes the 32bit one
it will tell you what type gcc is expecting.

Yes, if defining 'object_index' as int, gcc is happy.
If removing the powerpc re-definition of ptrdiff_t typedef in
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc3/source/arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/posix_types.h , it
works great as well.
So seems like gcc doesn't take into account the typedef behind ptrdiff_t, it just expects it to be
int on 32 bits ?

gcc never cares how ptrdiff_t (or any of the related types) is defined
it requires int or long for the format depending on the architecture.
The error message will say ptrdiff_t or size_t (etc) - but that is just
in the error message.
So the ppc32 uapi definition of __kernel_ptrdiff_t is wrong.
However it is probably set in stone.

Yes it seems to be wrong. It was changed by commit d27dfd3887 ("Import pre2.0.8"), so that's long
time ago. Before that it was an 'int' for ppc32.
gcc provides ptrdiff_t in stddef.h via __PTRDIFF_TYPE__
gcc defined __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ as 'int' at build time.
Should we fix it in arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/posix_types.h ? Anyway 'long' and 'int' makes no
functionnal difference on 32 bits so there should be no impact for users if any.
