Hi All, Thomas,

On my PPC64 machine, I see the below systemd crash orginating from 
abort() during boot on top of the tree. Complete dmesg can be seen here [1]
       abort (libc.so.6 + 0x29484) 

       __libc_message_impl (libc.so.6 + 0x9e00c) 

       __libc_fatal (libc.so.6 + 0x9e06c) 

       start_thread (libc.so.6 + 0xadffc) 

       __clone (libc.so.6 + 0x152d68) 

       __clone (libc.so.6 + 0x152d68) 

       create_thread.constprop.0 (libc.so.6 + 0xad9c8) 


The git bisect pointed me to commit 3424d8c18a7da "(Merge tag 
'core-entry-2026-08-17' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)"

Please find the kernel config used to build the kernel at [2].

I have tried applying the pending fixes from Mukesh [3] and Ritesh [4] 
for the currently outstanding issues and still see the problem.

The system is running Fedora 42, with glibc-2.41-7.fc42.ppc64le. The
complete list of toolchain and packages can be found here [5]

Thanks and Regards,
Shivaprasad
