Whenever we schedule, __switch_to calls load_esp0 which does:
tss-esp0 = thread-esp0;
This is never initialized for the initial thread (ie swapper), so when we're
scheduling that, we end up setting esp0 to 0. This is fine: the swapper never
leaves

GCC (4.1 at least) unrolls it anyway, but I can't believe this code
was ever justifiable. (I've also submitted a patch which cleans up
i386, which is even uglier).

Current vsyscall_gtod_data is large (3 or 4 cache lines dirtied at timer
interrupt). We can shrink it to exactly 64 bytes (1 cache line on AMD64)
Instead of copying a whole struct clocksource, we copy only needed fields.
I deleted an unused field :

commit 5e518d7672dea4cd7c60871e40d0490c52f01d13 did the same change to
i386's variant.
With this change, i386's and x86-64's versions are identical, raising
the question whether the x86-64 one should go (just like there's only
one instance of edd.S).

As a sidenote: I really wonder if anybody noticed yet, that the whole
CFS / SD comparison is so ridiculous, that it is not even funny anymore.
CFS modifies the scheduler and nothing else, SD fiddles all over the
kernel in interesting ways.

The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace. The dump created is 64 bit due to
the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.
It's possibly less likely to be useful in

Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand. The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be

When compiling with -Os (which is default) the compiler defaults to it
anyways. And with -O2 it probably generates somewhat better (although
also larger) code.

Work around a warning with -Wmissing-prototypes in

The warning isn't gcc's fault - asm-offsets.c is simply a special file.
