Building the rseq basic test with
gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.12)
Target: powerpc-linux-gnu
leads to these errors:

Makefile:581: recipe for target 'basic_percpu_ops_test.o' failed
Based on discussion with Linux powerpc maintainers and review of
the use of the "m" operand in powerpc kernel code, add the missing
%Un%Xn (where n is operand number) to the lwz, stw, ld, and std
instructions when used with "m" operands.
Using "WORD" to mean either a 32-bit or 64-bit type depending on
the architecture is misleading. The term "WORD" really means a
32-bit type in both 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc assembler. The intent
here is to wrap load/store to intptr_t into common macros for both
32-bit and 64-bit.
Rename the macros with a RSEQ_ prefix, and use the terms "INT"
for always 32-bit type, and "LONG" for architecture bitness-sized
type.

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 Restructured Text 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.
