Subject: [RFC PATCH REBASED 3/3] sched: Remove ARCH specific fpu_counter from task_struct
Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:47:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379398639-27403-4-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1379398639-27403-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com>
fpu_counter in task_struct was used only by sh/x86.
Both of these now carry it in ARCH specific thread_struct, hence this
can now be removed from generic task_struct, shrinking it slightly for
other arches.
