The use of stop_machine to replace the mask bits of the jump label branch is a very heavy-weight operation. This is in fact not necessary, the mask of the branch can simply be updated, followed by a signal processor to all the other CPUs to force them to pick up the modified instruction. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]: Change jump_label_make_nop() so we get brcl 0,offset instead of brcl 0,0. This makes sure that only the mask part of the instruction gets changed when updated. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.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.
