The patch titled
IA64 signal: remove redundant code in setup_sigcontext()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ia64-signal-remove-redundant-code-in-setup_sigcontext.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: IA64 signal: remove redundant code in setup_sigcontext()
From: Shi Weihua <shiwh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch removes some redundant code in the function setup_sigcontext().
The registers ar.ccv,b7,r14,ar.csd,ar.ssd,r2-r3 and r16-r31 are not
restored in restore_sigcontext() when (flags & IA64_SC_FLAG_IN_SYSCALL) is
true. So we don't need to zero those variables in setup_sigcontext().
