Re: [PATCH] powerpc: arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c - cleanup warnings

Hi He Ying,

Thank you for this patch.

I'm not sure what the precise rules for Fixes are, but I wonder if this
should have:

Fixes: 9a32a7e78bd0 ("powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses")
Fixes: f79643787e0a ("powerpc/64s: flush L1D on kernel entry")

Those are the commits that added the entry_flush and uaccess_flush
symbols. Perhaps one for rfi_flush too but I'm not sure what commit
introduced that.

Kind regards,
Daniel
