After this goes upstream, you should submit a patch to get rid of
all uses of %pF (70 instances in 35 files) and %pf (63 in 34)
Perhaps break the patch by top-level directory (e.g. get all the %pF

Hi Linus,
Please pull some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.
It turns out our single-fix pull from last week was too good to be true.
I missed a few fixes in that pull that had already come in because I was
on leave, but also we hadn't found the bugs yet. So this week it's a bit
bigger, though not rid

Userland passes an array of 64 SLB descriptors to KVM_SET_SREGS,
some of which are valid (ie, SLB_ESID_V is set) and the rest are
likely all-zeroes (with QEMU at least).
Each of them is then passed to kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_slbmte(), which

that the function name was not quite clear. To that end, this patch
renames is_current
