Dear Linux folks,
On an IBM S822LC SL822 (ppc64le) with Ubuntu 21.04, I tried to torture the RCU. allmodconfig(2) failed though.

I wonder why other builds seem to have worked. But checking the other results, despite the output saying the runs were a success the Linux kernel builds seem to have failed. For example [2]:
