commit 37f8abad1c7b274e66eaf2d04684bd8a7ba0bcef
Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
Date: Mon Jan 30 18:07:32 2017 -0200
nptl: Remove COLORING_INCREMENT
This patch removes the COLORING_INCREMENT define and usage on allocatestack.c.
It has not been used since 564cd8b67ec487f (glibc-2.3.3) by any architecture.
The idea is to simplify the code by removing obsolete code.
* nptl/allocatestack.c [COLORING_INCREMENT] (nptl_ncreated): Remove.
(allocate_stack): Remove COLORING_INCREMENT usage.
* nptl/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT). Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/i686/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT): Likewise.
Conflicts:
nptl/allocatestack.c
Textual conflict due to missing backport of commit
a1ffb40e32741f992c743e7b16c061fefa3747ac (Use glibc_likely instead
__builtin_expect.).
