* User helpers.

- * These are segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
- * at a fixed address in kernel memory. This is used to provide user space
- * with some operations which require kernel help because of unimplemented
- * native feature and/or instructions in many ARM CPUs. The idea is for
- * this code to be executed directly in user mode for best efficiency but
- * which is too intimate with the kernel counter part to be left to user
- * libraries. In fact this code might even differ from one CPU to another
- * depending on the available instruction set and restrictions like on
- * SMP systems. In other words, the kernel reserves the right to change
- * this code as needed without warning. Only the entry points and their
- * results are guaranteed to be stable.
- *
* Each segment is 32-byte aligned and will be moved to the top of the high
* vector page. New segments (if ever needed) must be added in front of
* existing ones. This mechanism should be used only for things that are
* really small and justified, and not be abused freely.
*
- * User space is expected to implement those things inline when optimizing
- * for a processor that has the necessary native support, but only if such
- * resulting binaries are already to be incompatible with earlier ARM
- * processors due to the use of unsupported instructions other than what
- * is provided here. In other words don't make binaries unable to run on
- * earlier processors just for the sake of not using these kernel helpers
- * if your compiled code is not going to use the new instructions for other
- * purpose.
