Hi Dan,
Just a couple of minor things ...
Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com writes:
In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case:

Otherwise that looks fine.

This needs a fixup:

This file is a symlink to the file in arch/powerpc/lib, so the name of the link needs updating, as well as the target.
Also is there a reason you dropped the "_64"? It would make most sense to keep it I think, as then the file in selftests and the file in arch/ have the same name.
If you want to keep the copy_mc.S name it needs the diff below. Though as I said I think it would be better to use copy_mc_64.S.
cheers
