Subject: [PATCH] Let gcc align 'struct pt_regs' on 8 bytes boundary
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 11:08:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <451CE2AB.70907@innova-card.com> (raw)
From: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>
The stack pointer in MIPS/gcc should always 8 bytes aligned on
entry to any routines. Therefore pt_regs structure must be
aligned to 8-byte boundary too.
Instead of creating dummy fields to achieve this alignment, this
patch let gcc doing it. Therefore 'smtc_pad' field can be safely
removed.
