+/**
+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * The long jump API allows to perform nonlocal gotos, that is jump from one
+ * function to another typically further down in the stack, while properly
+ * restoring the stack's state (unwinding). The two functions needed to do this
+ * are setjmp() and longjmp().
+ *
+ * In addition to these two standard POSIX.1-2001/C89 functions, a third one is
+ * present in U-Boot: initjmp(). It is an extension which allows to implement
+ * user-mode threads.
