@mckusick , thank you for the improved patch!
During test I figured out that kernel retries to mount the filesystem several times. I prevented this changing sys/kern/vfs_mountroot.c

I doubt it would work. The hack is easy to write: just set UNAME_m=$(uname -p) when building packages (but not for buildworld, etc). However, even this wouldn't do what you want... It would break at least kernel module building would be broken since MACHINE wouldn't be powerpc in this case. It may also break some utilities that grovel in the kernel as well (though they may not since /usr/include/machine would be built correctly... though anything that needs to know where kernel sources are might not work).

In D35962#856667, @imp wrote:

Well, Poudriere should use uname -p. Using -p doesn't make sense. On powerpc*, it prints just powerpc on all 4 platforms and is totally misleading on 3 of them. On armv{6,7}, it's imprecise (do we deal with arm as in the removed ARMv5, armeb, armv6 or maybe armv7?), although not as incorrect as on powerpc*. On riscv64, it makes other software think it's actually riscv32, which FreeBSD doesn't even support. I have posted previously links here to software and ugly workarounds that I needed to use.

EDIT: I meant "Using -m doesn't make sense." in my 2nd sentence.

Poudriere is doing exactly the right thing. It uses them for different things. uname -m is for kernel APIs, and uname -p is for userland ABIs. We use both in our build process in a nuanced way, and it works.

Given how much this broke, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll never be able to change this. You must patch all the software to conform with FreeBSD's quirky way of splitting these. While uname(1) didn't change, a lot of things use uname (3) rather than sysctl for this information, and you'll be playing whack-a-mole fixing the things that are already working. So I'm back to dead set against this because it causes too much POLA.

I have some questions :)
Should we define a custom (negative) error number for endian mismatch?
Should we check for the returned error number and make the caller print the message instead?

alfredo added a comment to D35962: uname: switch machine to HW_MACHINE_ARCH.

I started a similar discussion some time ago on IRC and the only conclusion I got was there's no standard. I looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname to try to find some pattern, but found none as well and I agreed to keep as is to avoid breaking things. However I understand that keeping as is today adds an unnecessary (and avoidable) extra burden to the already small number of ports maintainers that do an excellent job keeping powerpc* ports in shape. Since no regular package delivery for powerpc* existed and we are about to have them (with the new hardware that was acquired), it's the the perfect moment to discuss it.

alfredo added a comment to D36234: cpuset: add local functions for copyin/copyout.

This is rather strange. The description makes it sound like there is a bug somewhere in powerpc relocation handling, nothing specifically to do with cpuset code.
Until the problem is better understood, I don't think it's appropriate to commit something like this - how do you know that the bug won't require another workaround next week?

@rmacklem, 'vfs.root.mountroot' is used as a kernel parameter to specify (or override) where is the root filesystem to be mounted and its partition type. It's usually something like "vfs.root.mountroot=ufs:/dev/da0s1a" if you use a local disk, or "vfs.root.mountroot=nfs:192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/root" if using nfs.
