Linux kernel source tree
There are comments in processor-cyrix.h advising you to _not_ make calls
using the deprecated macros in this style:
setCx86_old(CX86_CCR4, getCx86_old(CX86_CCR4) | 0x80);
This is because it expands the macro into a non-functioning calling
sequence. The calling order must be:
outb(CX86_CCR2, 0x22);
inb(0x23);
From the comments:
* When using the old macros a line like
* setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);
* gets expanded to:
* do {
* outb((CX86_CCR2), 0x22);
* outb((({
* outb((CX86_CCR2), 0x22);
* inb(0x23);
* }) | 0x88), 0x23);
* } while (0);
The new macros fix this problem, so use them instead. Tested on an
actual Geode processor.

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.
