The cache parameter of getcpu() is not used by the kernel and no user ever passes it in anyways.
Remove the struct and its header.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de --- We could also completely remove the parameter, but I am not sure if that is a good idea for syscalls and vDSO entrypoints. --- arch/loongarch/vdso/vgetcpu.c | 5 ++--- arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/getcpu.c | 3 +-- arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso.h | 4 +--- arch/x86/entry/vdso/vgetcpu.c | 5 ++--- arch/x86/include/asm/vdso/processor.h | 4 +--- arch/x86/um/vdso/um_vdso.c | 7 +++---- include/linux/getcpu.h | 19 ------------------- include/linux/syscalls.h | 3 +-- kernel/sys.c | 4 +--- tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_getcpu.c | 4 +--- 10 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-)
