O(1) scheduler: asm offset changed
PATCH 1/1 O(1) scheduler: asm offset changed
Ingo's O(1) scheduler moved the location of the processor entry in task_struct (and also renamed it cpu). The hard coded offsets in entry.S, however, were not updated.
This patch, against 2.5.3-pre2 + J2, sets the correct offset and renames processor to cpu.
Note that nothing actually uses these offsets :-) at the moment but code used to and may again. Most importantly, preempt-kernel does!
Thanks,
Robert Love
