Why This File Exists

CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.

/*
 * Alpha is apparently daft enough to reorder address-dependent loads
 * on some CPU implementations. Knock some common sense into it with
 * a memory barrier in READ_ONCE().
 *
 * For the curious, more information about this unusual reordering is
 * available in chapter 15 of the "perfbook":
 *
 *  https://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/perfbook/perfbook.html
