    [PATCH] make used_math SMP-safe · bb459c65
    Andrea Arcangeli authored
    Convert the unsafe signed (16bit) used_math to a safe and optimal
    PF_USED_MATH
    
    I might have broken arm, see the very first change in the patch to
    asm-offsets.c, rest looks ok at first glance.
    
    If you want used_math to return 0 or 1 (instead of 0 or PF_USED_MATH), just
    s/!!// in the below patch and place !!  in sched.h::*used_math()
    accordingly after applying the patch, it should work just fine.  Using !!
    only when necessary as the below is optimal.

    This patch had fixed restore_sigcontext/restore_sigcontext32 about MIPS.
