Subject: DEFINE Macro
Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:32:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F066B60.5000701@zoho.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am not able to understand the DEFINE macro used in
arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c

I suppose the DEFINE is present in
include/linux/kbuild.h
where it says
#define DEFINE(sym, val) \
         asm volatile("\n->" #sym " %0 " #val : : "i" (val))

What does the above mean?
