Label Time Summary:
Label1    =   0.63 sec*proc (1 test)
Label2    =   0.63 sec*proc (1 test)

Total Test time (real) = 3814.47 sec

The following tests FAILED:
	178 - WarnUnusedUnusedViaSet (Failed)
	179 - WarnUnusedUnusedViaUnset (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

The kernel dmesg shows:

They previously passed without problems in 3.10.2:

174/454 Test #181: WarnUnusedUnusedViaUnset ...............................   Passed    7.01 sec
181/454 Test #180: WarnUnusedUnusedViaSet .................................   Passed    7.75 sec

Full build logs for 3.11.1 and 3.10.2 available in 1 and 2.

Let me know if need access to a sparc64 porterbox for testing or anything else.

Since other architectures are not affected by this issue, this is most likely related to unaligned access to which SPARC is generally very sensitive to.
