Subject: [PATCH v2 09/10] x86/entry/64: Stop using int_ret_from_sys_call in ret_from_fork
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:11:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0747e2a5e47084655a1e96351c545b755c41fa7.1454022279.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1454022279.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1454022279.git.luto@kernel.org>
ret_from_fork is now open-coded and is no longer tangled up with the
syscall code. This isn't so bad -- this adds very little code, and
IMO the result is much easier to understand.
