Now that linear and IMMR dedicated TLB handling is gone, kernel boundary address comparison is similar in ITLB miss handler and in DTLB miss handler. Create a macro named compare_to_kernel_boundary. When TASK_SIZE is strictly below 0x80000000 and PAGE_OFFSET is above 0x80000000, it is enough to compare to 0x8000000, and this can be done with a single instruction. Using not. instruction, we get to use 'blt' conditional branch as when doing a regular comparison: 0x00000000 <= addr <= 0x7fffffff ==> 0xffffffff >= NOT(addr) >= 0x80000000 The above test corresponds to a 'blt' Otherwise, do a regular comparison using two instructions.

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.
