Dmitrii Banshchikov says: ==================== This patchset adds support of pointers to type with known size among global function arguments. The motivation is to overcome the limit on the maximum number of allowed arguments and avoid tricky and unoptimal ways of passing arguments. A referenced type may contain pointers but access via such pointers cannot be veirified currently. v2 -> v3 - Fix reg ID generation - Fix commit description - Fix typo - Fix tests v1 -> v2: - Allow pointer to any type with known size rather than struct only - Allow pointer in global functions only - Add more tests - Fix wrapping and v1 comments ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
