Subject: [PATCH 01/11] x86, fpu: kill LWP support
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 10:11:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150827171102.745D334C@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150827171102.1BDF27E5@viggo.jf.intel.com>


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

LightWeight Profiling was evidently an AMD profiling feature that
we never got around to implementing.  Remove the references to it.

This patch is a *bit* worrisome becuase it will implicitly cause
'struct xregs_state' to shrink.  This effectively removes some
unused padding that we had in there.  It might expose other bugs.
