From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2015 07:32:31 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86/headers: Clean up and better document uapi/asm/sigcontext.h X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cbf5f4fbf435e871e59d49653d555266b8796efc;p=linux-beck.git x86/headers: Clean up and better document uapi/asm/sigcontext.h Clean up sigcontext.h: - the explanations were full of typos and were hard to read in general - use consistent and readable vertical spacing - fix, harmonize and extend comments No field name has been changed, user-space might be relying on them.
