From: Joe Korty Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 23:58:19 +0000 (-0500) Subject: x86: change thread_info's flag field back to 32 bits X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=affa219b60a11b32;p=linux-beck.git x86: change thread_info's flag field back to 32 bits Impact: pack struct thread_info more tightly Change x86_64's thread_info 'flags' field back to __u32. This was changed to 'unsigned long' when the thread_info*.h for i386 and x86_64 were merged. Change it back. We can do this as only 27 bits of 'flags' are actually used. This change actually packs down thread_info by 64 bits: 32 bits are saved by the smaller flags, and 32 bits are saved by the following 'mm_segment_t field' becoming naturally 64-bit aligned.
