Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

Hi Dan,

Just a couple of minor things ...

We try not to add extern in headers anymore.

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
