The arm64 build failure is due to gcc5, which needs a patch from a later kernel. The other failures are new and did not occur in 3.16.7. A bisect of the arm64 qemu failure points to commit f98ab7a1e78 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress"). Unfortunately, that is inconclusive, since there have been several follow-up commits trying to fix it. After reverting all those commits, the test still fails. Guenter
