@SiteAdmin Was able to pinpoint the error to a single line of code!
The last working commit is eabf2019b7e5bf8216e373a74e08f13ca6b6c550.
If I apply of the next commit 9fa0fb77132fe9e83f2b357fd5a2b16293a5b9ee only the part

That seems a little odd. Literally just adding that bool to that struct makes it go crazy?

If the struct is allocated elsewhere with the old layout, or if the firmware is expecting it, that would explain it.

The similar addition in the other file core_types.h does not trigger the error. This means that the following part of the problematic commit 9fa0fb77132fe9e83f2b357fd5a2b16293a5b9ee does not trigger the error:

Maybe the problem is a mismatch between the struct definitions if it (or an equivalent object) is in different locations.

Great Matgraf, great job, how can we take advantage of the correction now? Should we simply wait for the Linux Kernel team to fix it and then regularly download the tarball from the linux-archive site or do we need to do something else? Thanks

@MauryG5 Download a kernel source tree of choice and unpack it. Then download my patch and save it inside the top directory of the kernel source. Now apply the patch as follows from inside of the kernel source directory:
Code: [Select]
patch -p1 < fpu_exeption_fix_for_ppc64le_with_amdgpu.patchNow configure and compile as usual.

Warning: I don't know what my patch exactly does. It was mere guess work. I found the solution by looking at resembling code in the file drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dcn303/dcn303_resource.c applying it to the other two files and the error was gone. I have no clue if my patch has any implications whatsoever. Use at your own risk.

Excuse me but when you make a correction, shouldn't you tell the Kernel developers, warning them that a correction must be made regarding that architecture and therefore to make the Kernel work, you must make a correction for everyone?

Well then in theory maybe already in the next Kernel 5.17.4, there could be the correction without the need to insert it manually ...

I agree with the comments on that thread that skipping initialization is probably the wrong approach. The fact it works is likely a weird side effect. But great work on localizing where the problem is and I don't think it will take them long to find a better solution.

Hi MatGraf, unfortunately, having never patched the kernel, I'm not practical and I don't understand where to apply this patch exactly. I read in this guide on the net, which must be applied in the path of / usr / src but in the downloaded kernel there is only the usr directory, the src is not there and I don't understand where to apply this patch. That path is present in the root system directory, that is the one that is identified with the symbol / but in the directory of the Kernel just downloaded I can't find this path ... Can you tell me better how to do it kindly? So I too start learning how to patch kernels ... Thanks

No matgraf, as not mentioned, I only understood afterwards what you meant in your explanation and how to insert the patch. Just up and running in version 5.17.4, your patch apparently works very well, congratulations. I'm testing it on Ubuntu, then compiling it for Debian. Thanks
