Hi Andrew, After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc pseries_le_defconfig) failed like this: powerpc-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/purgatory/purgatory.o: compiled for a big endian system and target is little endian powerpc-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file arch/powerpc/purgatory/purgatory.o powerpc-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/purgatory/printf.o: compiled for a big endian system and target is little endian powerpc-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file arch/powerpc/purgatory/printf.o and so on ... Presumably caused by commit b26db279958b ("powerpc: add purgatory for kexec_file_load implementation") I added this patch for today: From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2016 19:12:42 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] disable KEXEC_FILE on powerpc for now Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig index 41300c3a1bfe..86ea07d7ead2 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig +++ b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig @@ -467,6 +467,7 @@ config KEXEC_FILE depends on PPC64 depends on CRYPTO=y depends on CRYPTO_SHA256=y + depends on BROKEN help This is a new version of the kexec system call.
