There are helpers for all type widths defined via macro and optionally can use a token which is a cached pointer to avoid repeated mapping of the extent buffer. The token value is known at compile time, when it's valid it's always address of a local variable, otherwise it's NULL passed by the token-less helpers. This can be utilized to remove some branching as the helpers are used frequenlty. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
