From 7158fc54b2c6f124eec0d7cd13bff69da0172e59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Weißschuh Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 08:08:44 +0100 Subject: vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cache MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The cache parameter of getcpu() is useless nowadays for various reasons. * It is never passed by userspace for either the vDSO or syscalls. * It is never used by the kernel. * It could not be made to work on the current vDSO architecture. * The structure definition is not part of the UAPI headers. * vdso_getcpu() is superseded by restartable sequences in any case. Remove the struct and its header. As a side-effect this gets rid of an unwanted inclusion of the linux/ header namespace from vDSO code.
