David,

the first test where it was discovered was done on my test LDOM named
ttip, hardware (hypervisor) is T5-2 server, running under Solaris 11.4
OS.
ttip LDOM is debian sparc64 unstable , so with almost all the latest
software (gcc 8.3.0, binutils 2.32.51.20190707-1, debian GLIBC
2.28-10, etc..)

For another test, i also installed LDOM with oracle sparc linux
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/linux-sparc/ , but I've to install a
more fresh version of gcc on it first, since system installed gcc 4.4
is too old for a git kernel (linux-2.6/Documentation/Changes lists gcc
4.6 as a minimal version), so I choose to install gcc-7.4.0 to /opt/
(leaving system installed gcc 4.4 under /usr/bin). Compiled and
installed git kernel version, i.e. last tag 5.3.0-rc1 and ran the
test. Kernel still produced oops.
