# Linux Kernel Module Cheat
The perfect emulation setup to study and develop the <<linux-kernel>> v5.9.2, kernel modules, <<qemu-buildroot-setup,QEMU>>, <<gem5-buildroot-setup,gem5>> and x86_64, ARMv7 and ARMv8 <<userland-assembly,userland>> and <<baremetal-setup,baremetal>> assembly, <<c,ANSI C>>, <<cpp,C++>> and <<posix,POSIX>>. <<gdb>> and <<kgdb>> just work. Powered by <<about-the-qemu-buildroot-setup,Buildroot>> and <<about-the-baremetal-setup,crosstool-NG>>. Highly automated. Thoroughly documented. Automated <<test-this-repo,tests>>.

##### 30.6.2.2. ARM NEON

Just an informal name for the "Advanced SIMD instructions"? Very confusing.

ARMv8 architecture reference manual F2.9 "Additional information about Advanced SIMD and floating-point instructions" says:

> The Advanced SIMD architecture, its associated implementations, and supporting software, are commonly referred to as NEON technology.

https://developer.arm.com/technologies/neon mentions that is is present on both ARMv7 and ARMv8:

> NEON technology was introduced to the Armv7-A and Armv7-R profiles. It is also now an extension to the Armv8-A and Armv8-R profiles.
