Linus,

Please pull the siginfo-linus branch from the git tree:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git siginfo-linus

   HEAD: f20239c0d2d720d7deb8a40fd05c31849ddc8293  mm/memory_failure: update powerpc for memory_failure() API change

I had a brain fart when I received Stephen email about a compile failure
in linux-next.  I thought the powerpc call to memory_failure had not
merged yet.  Instead it simply failed to compile :(

Linus can you please pull Stephen's fix so that powerpc builds correctly.

Thank you,
Eric

After merging the userns tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c: In function 'machine_process_ue_event':
arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c:276:5: error: too many arguments to function 'memory_failure'
     memory_failure(pfn, SIGBUS, 0);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

include/linux/mm.h:2571:12: note: declared here
 extern int memory_failure(unsigned long pfn, int flags);
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
