Linux 2.5.4-pre3 ReleasedFeb 08, 2002, 18:03 (0 Talkback[s])ChangeSet@1.236, 2002-02-07 15:26:17-08:00, torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com update version TAG: v2.5.4-pre3 ChangeSet@1.235, 2002-02-07 15:22:30-08:00, torvalds@penguin.transmeta.com Merge athlon:v2.5/linux into penguin.transmeta.com:/home/penguin/torvalds/repositories/kernel/linux ChangeSet@1.234, 2002-02-07 14:56:27-08:00, dhowells@redhat.com [PATCH] thread information block syscall latency improvement * There's now an asm/thread_info.h header file with the basic structure def and asm offsets in it. * There's now a linux/thread_info.h header file which includes the asm version and wraps some bitops calls to make convenience functions for accessing the low-level flags. * The task_struct has had some fields removed (and some flags), and has acquired a pointer to the thread_info struct. * task_struct's are now allocated on slabs in kernel/fork.c, whereas thread_info structs are allocated at the bottom of the stack pages. * Some more convenience functions are provided at the end of linux/sched.h to access flags in other tasks (these are here because they need to access the task_struct).
