Declare vmread_error_trampoline() as an opaque symbol so that it cannot be called from C code, at least not without some serious fudging. The trampoline always passes parameters on the stack so that the inline VMREAD sequence doesn't need to clobber registers. regparm(0) was originally added to document the stack behavior, but it ended up being confusing because regparm(0) is a nop for 64-bit targets. Opportunustically wrap the trampoline and its declaration in #ifdeffery to make it even harder to invoke incorrectly, to document why it exists, and so that it's not left behind if/when CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT is true for all supported toolchains. No functional change intended. Cc: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220928232015.745948-1-seanjc@google.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.
