This tests that a bctr (Branch to counter and link), ie. a function call, to a wildly out-of-bounds address is handled correctly. Some old kernel versions didn't handle it correctly, see eg: "powerpc/slb: Force a full SLB flush when we insert for a bad EA" https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2017-April/157397.html Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
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.
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.
