Currently we use ifdef __powerpc64__ in barrier.h to decide if we should use lwsync or eieio for SMPWMB which is then used by __smp_wmb(). That means when we are building the compat VDSO we will use eieio, because it's 32-bit code, even though we're building a 64-bit kernel for a 64-bit CPU. Although eieio should work, it would be cleaner if we always used the same barrier, even for the 32-bit VDSO. So change the ifdef to CONFIG_PPC64, so that the selection is made based on the bitness of the kernel we're building for, not the current compilation unit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
