Subject: [PATCH 6/7] traps: x86: remove trace_hardirqs_fixup from pagefault handler
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:03:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1222430588-29072-7-git-send-email-heukelum@fastmail.fm> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1222430588-29072-6-git-send-email-heukelum@fastmail.fm>

The last use of trace_hardirqs_fixup is unnecessary, because the
trap is taken with interrupt off on i386 as well as x86_64, and
the irq-tracer is notified of this from the assembly code.

trace_hardirqs_fixup and trace_hardirqs_fixup_flags are removed
from include/asm-x86/irqflags.h as they are no longer used.
