From 8258e268c15a29c09d7c88d91a948bdf729433d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tiejun Chen Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:28:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kgdb: use DEFINE_PER_CPU to allocate kgdb's thread_info Use DEFINE_PER_CPU to allocate thread_info statically instead of kmalloc(). This can avoid introducing more memory check codes.
