Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86: Remove useless unwinder backlink from irq regs saving
Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 18:29:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309624184-9790-6-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1309624184-9790-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
The unwinder backlink in interrupt entry is very useless.
It's actually not part of the stack frame chain and thus is
never used.
