commit2026d35741upstream. The function __builtin_expect returns long type (see the gcc documentation), and so do macros likely and unlikely. Unfortunatelly, when CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is selected, the macros likely and unlikely expand to __branch_check__ and __branch_check__ truncates the long type to int. This unintended truncation may cause bugs in various kernel code (we found a bug in dm-writecache because of it), so it's better to fix __branch_check__ to return long.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
