it looks like below commit is a culprit:
=======================================
commit 2337d207288f163e10bd8d4d7eeb0c1c75046a0c
Author: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com>
Date: Fri Jan 27 14:24:33 2017 +1000
powerpc/64: CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support for hmi interrupts
The branch from hmi_exception_early to hmi_exception_realmode must use
a "relocatable-style" branch, because it is branching from unrelocated
exception code to beyond __end_interrupts.
Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
=======================================
With the above commit changes now hmi_exception_realmode() is called
using bctrl which ends up messing up TOC (r2) value and further access
using new r2 results into unpredictable behaviour.
----------------------------------------
c000000000025f50 <hmi_exception_realmode>:
c000000000025f50: 3a 01 4c 3c addis r2,r12,314
c000000000025f54: b0 01 42 38 addi r2,r2,432
c000000000025f58: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
-----------------------------------------
With above commit the hmi_exception_early() code jumps to
c000000000025f50 (hmi_exception_realmode+0x0) which then sets up new
value for r2.
If we revert above commit the code jumps to c000000000025f58
(hmi_exception_realmode+0x8) and hmi handler works fine.
After reverting above patch I don't see this issue anymore. I have
rebuilt the ubuntu kernel after reverting above patch and you can find
the kernel rpm at:
Can you please retry your tests with above kernel and see if issue
still persists.
