Subject: [MIPS] Let gcc align 'struct pt_regs' on 8 bytes boundary
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e90f49b112e4c91dee7d61eccc06bcd25b9c534;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[MIPS] Let gcc align 'struct pt_regs' on 8 bytes boundary

The stack pointer in MIPS/gcc should always 8 bytes aligned on
entry to any routines. Therefore pt_regs structure must be
aligned to 8-byte boundary too.

Instead of creating dummy fields to achieve this alignment, this
patch let gcc doing it. Therefore 'smtc_pad' field can be safely
removed.
