Subject: [ARM] Remove rt_sigframe puc and pinfo pointers
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce7a3fdc5c55fd01d8e2deda0daef84473644f8b;p=linux-beck.git

[ARM] Remove rt_sigframe puc and pinfo pointers

These two members appear to be surplus to requirements.  Discussing
this issue with glibc folk:

| We can kill them.  I checked with Phil B. about them last week, and he
| didn't remember any reason they still needed to be there.  And nothing
| should know where they are on the stack.  Unfortunately, doing this
| will upset GDB, which knows that the saved registers are 0x88 bytes
| above the stack pointer on entrance to an rt signal trampoline; but,
| since puc and pinfo are quite recognizable, I can adapt GDB to support
| the new layout if you want to remove them.

So remove them.
