Build results:

Failed builds:
powerpc:ppc6xx_defconfig
powerpc:86xx/sbc8641d_defconfig
Qemu test results:

The build failure is:

In file included from arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:24:
In function âuser_regset_copyinâ,
inlined from âvr_setâ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:490:9:
include/linux/regset.h:258:4: error:
âmemcpyâ offset [-527, -529] is out of the bounds [0, 16] of object âvrsaveâ with type âunion <anonymous>â

The problem is not new. It is seen now because I switched to use
gcc 8.3.0. The problem is fixed in linux-next.
