2012-05-06	vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+21
	Admittedly this is something that the compiler should be able to just do for us, but gcc just isn't that smart. And trying to use a structure initializer (which would get us the right semantics) ends up resulting in gcc allocating stack space for _two_ 'struct stat', and then copying one into the other. So do it by hand - just have a per-architecture macro that initializes the padding fields. And if the architecture doesn't provide one, fall back to the old behavior of just doing the whole memset() first. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-22	x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards	H. Peter Anvin	1	-3/+3
	Change header guards named "ASM_X86__" to "_ASM_X86_" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
