This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/pseries: Use the security flags in pseries_setup_rfi_flush() to the 4.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-pseries-use-the-security-flags-in-pseries_setup_rfi_flush.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@vger.kernel.org> know about it. From foo@baz Wed May 23 19:18:22 CEST 2018 From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Date: Wed, 23 May 2018 00:41:20 +1000 Subject: powerpc/pseries: Use the security flags in pseries_setup_rfi_flush() To: greg@kroah.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org, tglx@linutronix.de, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Message-ID: <20180522144125.10345-10-mpe@ellerman.id.au> From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> commit 2e4a16161fcd324b1f9bf6cb6856529f7eaf0689 upstream. Now that we have the security flags we can simplify the code in pseries_setup_rfi_flush() because the security flags have pessimistic defaults.
