+program where if its execution is preempted or interrupted, the kernel will
+divert the program control flow to a defined abort handler.  They are a good
+alternative to atomic operations for critical fast paths and are usually used
+in the context of per-cpu data.  The library offers ABI headers to interface
+with the kernel and various utilities such as per-cpu counters.")
