While working on the rewrite to the light-weight syscall and futex code, I
experimented with using a hash index based on the user physical address of
atomic variable. This exposed two problems with the lpa and lpa_user defines.
Because of the copy instruction, the pa argument needs to be an early clobber
argument. This prevents gcc from allocating the va and pa arguments to the same
register.
Secondly, the lpa instruction can cause a page fault so we need to catch
exceptions.

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.
