Thank you both for reviewing. I guess you mostly mean "ldr r6, [r2, #TI_CPU_DOMAIN]". I just thought about old CPUs and remembered again that we at Wine need that patch only on v7 (and later). So is it ok to introduce a set_tls_v7 in tls.h and make use of CONFIG_CPU_V7 compile-time check in the changed files and in the copy_thread function? Do i need any further flag checks in copy_thread or can i use the compile-time check to add unconditional code? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
