Subject: Re: linux-next: build failure after merge of the perf tree

Hello Stephen,

This seems to be the same problem as pointed by ACME on the patch series [1].
Could this be a compiler false positive ? Because the new code block is exact
same like the existing one. This warning seems to only occurs on powerpc64el
platform, but not on others.
