Subject: [PATCH 4/8] x86/fpu: Remove the thread::fpu pointer
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 23:11:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409211127.3544993-5-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250409211127.3544993-1-mingo@kernel.org>
As suggested by Oleg, remove the thread::fpu pointer, as we can
calculate it via x86_task_fpu() at compile-time.
This improves code generation a bit:
