Yes, my machine is mips machine.
if do_ade in unaligned.c is a trap, where do we register it?
I grep the source code but I only find the definition but cannot get
the place where we register the trap.
Does it have any relationship with the word 'asmlinkage'?
I know init is the keyword for init section.
but what does asmlinkage mean?
