GCC 7 will take "r2" in clobber list as an error and it will get following build errors for powerpc ptrace selftests even with -fno-pic option: ptrace-tm-vsx.c: In function ‘tm_vsx’: ptrace-tm-vsx.c:42:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘r2’ in ‘asm’ asm __volatile__( ^~~ make[1]: *** [ptrace-tm-vsx] Error 1 ptrace-tm-spd-vsx.c: In function ‘tm_spd_vsx’: ptrace-tm-spd-vsx.c:55:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘r2’ in ‘asm’ asm __volatile__( ^~~ make[1]: *** [ptrace-tm-spd-vsx] Error 1 ptrace-tm-spr.c: In function ‘tm_spr’: ptrace-tm-spr.c:46:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘r2’ in ‘asm’ asm __volatile__( ^~~ Fix the build error by removing "r2" from the clobber list. None of these asm blocks actually clobber r2.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
