+/*
+ * Helper macros to generate ELF Note structures, which are put into a
+ * PT_NOTE segment of the final vmlinux image. These are useful for
+ * including name-value pairs of metadata into the kernel binary (or
+ * modules?) for use by external programs.
+ *
+ * Each note has three parts: a name, a type and a desc. The name is
+ * intended to distinguish the note's originator, so it would be a
+ * company, project, subsystem, etc; it must be in a suitable form for
+ * use in a section name. The type is an integer which is used to tag
+ * the data, and is considered to be within the "name" namespace (so
+ * "FooCo"'s type 42 is distinct from "BarProj"'s type 42). The
+ * "desc" field is the actual data. There are no constraints on the
+ * desc field's contents, though typically they're fairly small.
+ *
+ * All notes from a given NAME are put into a section named
+ * .note.NAME. When the kernel image is finally linked, all the notes
+ * are packed into a single .notes section, which is mapped into the
+ * PT_NOTE segment. Because notes for a given name are grouped into
+ * the same section, they'll all be adjacent the output file.
+ *
+ * This file defines macros for both C and assembler use. Their
+ * syntax is slightly different, but they're semantically similar.
+ *
+ * See the ELF specification for more detail about ELF notes.
