It does? I see: + if (lppaca_shared_proc(get_lppaca())) + static_branch_enable(&shared_processor); > This function does not exist for ppc in v4.19.y and v5.4.y.

I'll go revert this patch, but as it was marked for stable by the authors of the patch, as relevant back to 4.18, I would have hoped that they knew what they were doing :) thanks, greg k-h
