   1

   The system fails to boot, after initial installation of latest Debian ISO for sparc64 and system is rebooting.

   2

   This may impact other version of SPARC64 Linux as well (Debian, Gentoo, and T2 SDE)

   3

   4

   The following panic may occur during system boot.

   Loading Linux 6.19.8+deb14-sparc64-smp ...

   1

   The current implementation of ether_addr_copy() uses two different 

   2

   copying strategies depending on CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS:

   3

   4

   When enabled, the function performs unaligned 32-bit and 16-bit

   5

   loads/stores. These operations require natural alignment on

   1

    SPARC64’s register windows and deep trap frames can exhaust the default 16 KB kernel stack under certain workloads

   2

    (USB probing, debug builds, deep call paths). When this happens, the stack silently overflows into thread_info,

   3

    corrupts trap frames, and causes unpredictable crashes. Increasing stack to 32 KB prevents these failures and is

   4

    required for stable operation on SPARC64 systems.

   1

   Resolved regressions with test patches for kernels v7.0.3 and v7.1‑rc1 on SPARC64, and possibly other

   2

   architectures, resulting in timer starvation, extreme boot delays, RCU grace‑period stalls, hung kworkers, and

   3

   multi‑second to multi‑minute pauses during both local console and SSH login.  Note this regression started with v7.0
