This old piece of code is supposed to measure the performance of indirect calls to determine if the processor is buggy or not, however the compiler optimizer turns it into a direct call. Use the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() macro to thwart the optimization, so that a real indirect call is generated.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
