Observing that per-CPU data (in the SMP case) is reachable by exploiting 64-bit address wraparound, these two patches arrange for using the one byte shorter RIP-relative addressing forms for the majority of per-CPU accesses.
1: handle PC-relative relocations on per-CPU data 2: use RIP-relative addressing for most per-CPU accesses Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeul...@suse.com> -- 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/
