781584 of them today!

Presumably the result of commit

  186c3e18dba3 ("ubsan: enable for all*config builds")

from the akpm-current tree.

arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S has:

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC32
        .data : AT(ADDR(.data) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
                DATA_DATA
#ifdef CONFIG_UBSAN
                *(.data..Lubsan_data*)
                *(.data..Lubsan_type*)
#endif
                *(.data.rel*)
                *(SDATA_MAIN)

added by commit

  beba24ac5913 ("powerpc/32: Add .data..Lubsan_data*/.data..Lubsan_type* sections explicitly")

in 2018, but no equivalent for 64 bit.

I will try the following patch tomorrow:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr at canb.auug.org.au>
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2020 22:58:24 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Add .data..Lubsan_data*/.data..Lubsan_type* sections explicitly

Similarly to commit

  beba24ac5913 ("powerpc/32: Add .data..Lubsan_data*/.data..Lubsan_type* sections explicitly")

since CONFIG_UBSAN bits can now be enabled for all*config.
