On POWER8 (ISA 2.07) lxvx and stxvx are defined to be extended mnemonics of lxvd2x and stxvd2x. For POWER9 (ISA 3.0) the HW architects in their infinite wisdom made lxvx and stxvx instructions in their own right. POWER9 aware GCC will use the POWER9 instruction for lxvx and stxvx causing these selftests to fail on POWER8. Further compounding the issue, because of the way -mvsx works it will cause the power9 instructions to be used regardless of -mcpu=power8 to GCC or -mpower8 to AS. The safest way to address the problem for now is to not use the extended mnemonic. We don't care how the CPU loads the values from memory since the tests only performs register comparisons, so using stdvd2x/lxvd2x does not impact the test.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
