[PATCH 0/9] x86-64 put current in r10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Andi,

The following emails contain the patches to convert x86-64 to store current 
in r10 (also at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/patches/v2.6.15-rc3/).  This 
provides a significant amount of code savings (~43KB) over the current 
use of the per cpu data area.  I also tested using r15, but that generated 
code that was larger than that generated with r10.  This code seems to be 
working well for me now (it stands up to 32 and 64 bit processes and ptrace 
users) and would be a good candidate for further exposure.
