X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc2~59^2~14^2~13 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96e017495e6833adcbad84783e3c5eb685836bbf;p=pandora-kernel.git [IA64] On return from syscall, hint b7 with __kernel_syscall_via_epc(). Why is this a good idea? Clearing b7 to 0 is guaranteed to do us no good and writing it with __kernel_syscall_via_epc() yields a 6 cycle improvement _if_ the application performs another EPC-based system- call without overwriting b7, which is not all that uncommon. Well worth the minimal cost of 1 bundle of code. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang Signed-off-by: Tony Luck --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
