Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] MIPS: memset.S: Add comments to fault fixup handlers
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 16:40:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523979603-492-4-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@mips.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1523979603-492-1-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@mips.com>

It is not immediately obvious what the expected inputs to these fault
handlers is and how they calculate the number of unset bytes. Having
stared deeply at this in order to fix some corner cases, add some
comments to addist those who follow.

Signed-off-by: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@mips.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add comments to fault handlers in new, separate, patch.
