At least in .25 mainline current_thread_info() is still using [re]sp arithmetic. Also I think the stack backtracers also rely on suitable alignment of the stack top. So right now it is still fundamental. Now that could be all fixed by using segment register references and might be, but so far that doesn't seem to be finished yet. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
