Is off_t 32 bits? Why is the ia32 compatiblity kernel interface used? I'm sure a lot of people want to get rid of that in cases where they control the whole software stack. Is stack alignment to 16 bytes beneficial for X32? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
