Observed that boot arguments (passed as CONFIG_CMDLINE) are not beingHi Akshay,
picked up by kernel while using gcc-ppc64-linux-gnu v5.4.0 and v6.1.1.
While it works as expected with v5.3.1 .
Found that in init/main.c in setup_command_line() the pointers passed to
strcpy() is messed up.
Thanks for debugging this.
The problem goes away when compiler optimization is restricted to -O1.But I can't merge that patch.

Our options are one or both of:
- get GCC fixed and backport the fix to the compilers we care about.
- blacklist the broken compiler versions.
Is there a GCC bug filed for this?
cheers
