Subject: sched: convert sys_sched_getaffinity() to cpumask_var_t.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f17c860760927c2a8e41a021eab3317e4415e962;p=linux-beck.git

sched: convert sys_sched_getaffinity() to cpumask_var_t.

Impact: stack usage reduction

Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves
space in the stack.  cpumask_var_t is just a struct cpumask for
!CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

Some jiggling here to make sure we always exit at the bottom (so we hit
the free_cpumask_var there).
