Venkat reported a compilation error for BPF selftests on PowerPC [0].
The crux of the error is the following message:
In file included from progs/arena_spin_lock.c:7:
/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_arena_spin_lock.h:122:8:
error: member reference base type '__attribute__((address_space(1)))
u32' (aka '__attribute__((address_space(1))) unsigned int') is not a
structure or union
122 | old = atomic_read(&lock->val);
This is because PowerPC overrides the qspinlock type changing the
lock->val member's type from atomic_t to u32.
To remedy this, import the asm-generic version in the arena spin lock
header, name it __qspinlock (since it's aliased to arena_spinlock_t, the
actual name hardly matters), and adjust the selftest to not depend on
the type in vmlinux.h.

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 reStructuredText 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.
