Revision 112166f88cf83dd11486cf1818672d42b540865b authored by Christoph Lameter on 12 July 2017, 21:33:11 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 12 July 2017, 23:25:59 UTC 
kernel/fork.c: virtually mapped stacks: do not disable interrupts
 
The reason to disable interrupts seems to be to avoid switching to a
different processor while handling per cpu data using individual loads and
stores.  If we use per cpu RMV primitives we will not have to disable
interrupts.

# Kbuild for top-level directory of the kernel

# 1) Generate bounds.h
# 2) Generate timeconst.h
# 3) Generate asm-offsets.h (may need bounds.h and timeconst.h)
# 4) Check for missing system calls
