From a6c19dfe39941a5d3f4d072121c0a4841e7e26fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 14:23:40 -0700 Subject: arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR). This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML, and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations. This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64. This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.
