Build results:
	total: 171 pass: 169 fail: 2
Failed builds: 
	powerpc:ppc6xx_defconfig 
	powerpc:86xx/sbc8641d_defconfig
Qemu test results:
	total: 291 pass: 291 fail: 0

The build failure is:

In file included from arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:24:
In function ‘user_regset_copyin’,
    inlined from ‘vr_set’ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:490:9:
include/linux/regset.h:258:4: error:
	‘memcpy’ offset [-527, -529] is out of the bounds [0, 16] of object ‘vrsave’ with type ‘union <anonymous>’ 

The problem is not new. It is seen now because I switched to use
gcc 8.3.0. The problem is fixed in linux-next.
