Subject: [PATCH] x86-32: remove CONFIG_4KSTACKS
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:16:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100616091621.GA4486@lst.de> (raw)
These days 4 kilobytes of stack just aren't enough for reliably operation,
and people using lots of threads have long switched to x86-64, so remove the
CONFIG_4KSTACKS option.
