14 regressions:
+ drivers/virt/fsl_hypervisor.c: error: 'MSR_GS' undeclared (first
use in this function): => 799:93
These reports would be more useful if the actual .config were provided,
rather than just saying "powerpc randconfig".
I doubt this particular one is a regression; it looks like the
dependencies have always been too weak (patch sent) and you're just
comparing different randomly-generated configs.
powerpc-randconfig
+ error: relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_REL24 against symbol
`._mcount' defined in .text section in arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.o:
(.text+0x1ff9eb8) => (.text+0x1ffa274), (.text+0x1ff7840)
powerpc-allyesconfig
It's been over 3 years since powerpc-allyesconfig built (it's just too
big for the relocation model the kernel uses) -- how is this a
regression?
