[PATCH 3/7] x86: add 'runtime constant' support
Linus Torvalds

Mon Jun 10 13:48:17 PDT 2024
This implements the runtime constant infrastructure for x86, allowing
the dcache d_hash() function to be generated using as a constant for
hash table address followed by shift by a constant of the hash index.
