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:

   kepler:~/tip> size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after
   text        data        bss        dec         hex        filename
   26475405    10435342    1740804    38651551    24dc69f    vmlinux.before
   26475339    10959630    1216516    38651485    24dc65d    vmlinux.after
