And that additional state is architectural state (more FPU regs etc etc) or something libc generic. On both counts, that doesn't sound like a clean interface design ! _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
