Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:22:21 +0100 Message-ID: <1314782541.28989.37.camel@zakaz.uk.xensource.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.32.3 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org This fell off my radar but Cyrill kindly reminded me so here is a repost of my short cleanup to remove the kernel_eflags variable from 64 bit and to converge the ret_from_fork paths on 32 and 64 bit slightly. This is unchanged from the last posting except I have rebased to current tip/master and retested (it boots successfully on both 32 and 64 bit). As previously discussed since the original posting I have switched to converging on the 64 bit variant rather than the 32 bit variant. Although I believe both variants are strictly speaking correct and equivalent the 64 bit version seems to be more obviously so. Ian.
