Re: A question about head.S

In message [ref] you wrote:

In arch/ppc/kernel/head.S, there are lines looks like
bne 4f or b 5f, I know they are branch instructions, but what
about 4f or 5f. Are they the relative length? and what is the unit,
I mean if 4f is a number , is it number of instructions or number
of bytes or words?

You will also see labels "4:" and "5:" etc. in the text.  "4f"  means
"label  4  searching  forward",  while  "5b"  means "label 5 seaching
backwards".
