Use vector instruction macros instead of byte patterns to increase readability. The generated code is nearly identical: - 1e8: e7 0f 10 00 00 36 vlm %v0,%v15,0(%r1) - 1ee: e7 0f 11 00 0c 36 vlm %v16,%v31,256(%r1) + 1e8: e7 0f 10 00 30 36 vlm %v0,%v15,0(%r1),3 + 1ee: e7 0f 11 00 3c 36 vlm %v16,%v31,256(%r1),3 By using the VLM macro the alignment hint is automatically specified too. Even though from a performance perspective it doesn't matter at all for the machine check code, this shows yet another benefit when using the macros.

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.
