The gcc compiler on paric does support the __int128 type, although the architecture does not have native 128-bit support. The effect is, that the bcachefs u128_square() function will pull in the libgcc __multi3() helper, which breaks the kernel build when bcachefs is built as module since this function isn't currently exported in arch/parisc/kernel/parisc_ksyms.c. The build failure can be seen in the latest debian kernel build at: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=linux&arch=hppa&ver=6.7.1-1%7Eexp1&stamp=1706132569&raw=0 We prefer to not export that symbol, so fall back to the optional 64-bit implementation provided by bcachefs and thus avoid usage of __multi3().

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.
