Subject: PATCH [0/2] percpu: Local cpu pointer optimizations
Date: Sat,  4 Sep 2010 13:21:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283620871-818-1-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch set allows arches to provide an optimized way of shifting
a per-cpu pointer for the current cpu.  

On an x86-32 defconfig build, these patches save 1304 bytes of text.
