The thread_info::preempt_count field it never under PREEMPT_COUNT include/asm-generic/preempt.h provides stuff regardless of PREEMPT_COUNT. See how __irq_enter() -> preempt_count_add(HARDIRQ_OFFSET) -> __preempt_count_add() _always_ just works. Its only things like preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() that get munged depending on PREEMPT_COUNT/PREEMPT. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
