When building on ARM in thumb mode with gcc-11.3 at -O2 or -O3,
nolibc-test segfaults during the select() tests. It turns out that at
this level, gcc recognizes an opportunity for using memset() to zero
the fd_set, but it miscompiles it because it also recognizes a memset
pattern as well, and decides to call memset() from the memset() code:
000122bc <memset>:
122bc: b510 push {r4, lr}
122be: 0004 movs r4, r0
122c0: 2a00 cmp r2, #0
122c2: d003 beq.n 122cc <memset+0x10>
122c4: 23ff movs r3, #255 ; 0xff
122c6: 4019 ands r1, r3
122c8: f7ff fff8 bl 122bc <memset>
122cc: 0020 movs r0, r4
122ce: bd10 pop {r4, pc}
Simply placing an empty asm() statement inside the loop suffices to
avoid this.

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.
