From 02ba1a32dbd3d406530a17a2643a8f0f8cbf3acc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:52:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] i386: move kernel_thread_helper into entry.S And add proper CFI annotation to it which was previously impossible. This prevents "stuck" messages by the dwarf2 unwinder when reaching the top of a kernel stack.
