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")

Is that necessary for warning cleanups? I thought 'Fixes' tags are needed only for

bugfix patches. Can someone tell me whether I am right?


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

warning: symbol 'rfi_flush' was not declared.
warning: symbol 'entry_flush' was not declared.
warning: symbol 'uaccess_flush' was not declared.
We found warnings above in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c by using
sparse tool.

Define 'entry_flush' and 'uaccess_flush' as static because they are not
referenced outside the file. Include asm/security_features.h in which
'rfi_flush' is declared.
