15 * This macro obfuscates arithmetic on a variable address so that gcc
16 * shouldn't recognize the original var, and make assumptions about it.
18 * This is needed because the C standard makes it undefined to do
19 * pointer arithmetic on "objects" outside their boundaries and the
20 * gcc optimizers assume this is the case. In particular they
21 * assume such arithmetic does not wrap.
23 * A miscompilation has been observed because of this on PPC.
24 * To work around it we hide the relationship of the pointer and the object
25 * using this macro.
27 * Versions of the ppc64 compiler before 4.1 had a bug where use of
28 * RELOC_HIDE could trash r30. The bug can be worked around by changing
29 * the inline assembly constraint from =g to =r, in this particular
30 * case either is valid.

60 * it doesn't make sense on ARM (currently the only user of __naked) to trace
61 * naked functions because then mcount is called without stack and frame pointer
62 * being set up and there is no chance to restore the lr register to the value
63 * before mcount was called.
65 * The asm() bodies of naked functions often depend on standard calling conventions,
66 * therefore they must be noinline and noclone. GCC 4.[56] currently fail to enforce
67 * this, so we must do so ourselves. See GCC PR44290.

74 * From the GCC manual:
76 * Many functions have no effects except the return value and their
77 * return value depends only on the parameters and/or global
78 * variables. Such a function can be subject to common subexpression
79 * elimination and loop optimization just as an arithmetic operator
80 * would be.
