Subject: [PATCH] x86: compress the stack layout of do_page_fault()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=869f96a00e8f53c7db8470ca9cf72e2e3fa40119;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[PATCH] x86: compress the stack layout of do_page_fault()

This patch pushes the creation of a rare signal frame (SIGBUS or SIGSEGV)
into a separate function, thus saving stackspace in the main
do_page_fault() stackframe.  The effect is 132 bytes less of stack used by
the typical do_page_fault() invocation - resulting in a denser
cache-layout.

(Another minor effect is that in case of kernel crashes that come from a
pagefault, we add less space to the already existing frame, giving the
crash functions a slightly higher chance to do their stuff without
overflowing the stack.)

(The changes also result in slightly cleaner code.)
