11 * Original kernel header comment:
13 * Kernel pointers have redundant information, so we can use a
14 * scheme where we can return either an error code or a normal
15 * pointer with the same return value.
17 * This should be a per-architecture thing, to allow different
18 * error and pointer decisions.
20 * Userspace note:
21 * The same principle works for userspace, because 'error' pointers
22 * fall down to the unused hole far from user space, as described
23 * in Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt for x86_64 arch:
25 * 0000000000000000 - 00007fffffffffff (=47 bits) user space, different per mm hole caused by [48:63] sign extension
26 * ffffffffffe00000 - ffffffffffffffff (=2 MB) unused hole
28 * It should be the same case for other architectures, because
29 * this code is used in generic kernel code.
