Not a new issue, see https://git.linux-mips.org/cgit/ralf/linux-lto.git/commit/arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h?id=969890d139ee53f61fc6ed3f534335802c733e1b This was never upstreamed since LTO never received much love from upstream back then and there might be more well ripened code in there. To me this appeared like a compiler issue; I think this global register variable should be treated like a cmmon variable. Maybe Matthew can shed some light on this? Ralf
