SLB faults should not be taken while the PACA save areas are live, all memory accesses should be fetches from the kernel text, and access to PACA and the current stack, before C code is called or any other accesses are made. All of these have pinned SLBs so will not take a SLB fault. Therefore EXSLB is not be required.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
