Hello Arnd,
May I ask you whether you plan to build cross compilers based on GCC 11.1 at
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ ?
Hi Christophe,
I've built a snapshot a few days before the release, that one is
identical to 11.1
except for the reported version number. I've tried to ask around for
help testing
this, but so far I have not heard from anyone.
Building a new set of compilers takes around a day on my build box, so I want
to make sure I don't have to do it more often than necessary. If you are able
to give the binaries a spin, preferably on a ppc64le or arm64 host, please let
me know how it goes and I'll rebuilt them on the release tag.
Hi Arnd,
I don't have any ppc or arm host I can build on.
I'm building on x86 for powerpc embedded boards.
I have tried your GCC 11 snapshot, I get something booting but it crashes when
launching init.

Something is going wrong with asm goto output. I implemented get_user() helpers with asm goto this
cycle (commit 5cd29b1fd3e8). I tested it with CLANG before submitting, it was working.
Seems like there is something wrong with it with GCC11. When forcing CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT
to 'n', the kernel boots ok.
I found the problem, that's due to r10 register being reused by GCC in the copy
loop below:
10: 7d 09 03 a6 mtctr r8
14: 80 ca 00 00 lwz r6,0(r10)
18: 80 ea 00 04 lwz r7,4(r10)
1c: 90 c9 00 08 stw r6,8(r9)
20: 90 e9 00 0c stw r7,12(r9)
24: 39 0a 00 08 addi r8,r10,8
28: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8
=>2c: 81 4a 00 08 lwz r10,8(r10)
30: 81 6a 00 0c lwz r11,12(r10)
34: 91 49 00 08 stw r10,8(r9)
38: 91 69 00 0c stw r11,12(r9)
3c: 39 48 00 08 addi r10,r8,8
40: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8
44: 42 00 ff d0 bdnz 14 <__unsafe_restore_general_regs+0x14>
earlyclobber modifier is missing in the CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT version
of __get_user_asm2_goto().
This is not a GCC bug, with that fixed my board is working OK.
