From 885bc0246bfef6d3f9337c33d240e120ef1e5889 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 04:42:33 +0000 Subject: Update. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_VFORK_SYSCALL): Define for 2.4+ kernels. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/vfork.S: Optimize for kernels which are known to have the vfork syscall.
