From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:56:49 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x32: Add a thread flag for x32 processes X-Git-Tag: v3.4-rc1~33^2~29 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb212724;p=karo-tx-linux.git x32: Add a thread flag for x32 processes An x32 process is *almost* the same thing as a 64-bit process with a 32-bit address limit, but there are a few minor differences -- in particular core dumps are 32 bits and signal handling is different.
