Subject: [PATCH 09/12] x86/entry/64: Stop using int_ret_from_sys_call in ret_from_fork
Date: Mon,  7 Dec 2015 13:51:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d2a3b022e8779dd75ef720ba7a78ef7a328debe9.1449522077.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1449522077.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1449522077.git.luto@kernel.org>

ret_from_fork is now open-coded and is no longer tangled up with the
syscall code.  This isn't so bad -- this adds very little code, and
IMO the result is much easier to understand.
