Subject: [RFC PATCH for 4.18 04/23] arm: Wire up restartable sequences system call
Date:   Thu, 12 Apr 2018 15:27:41 -0400
Message-Id: <20180412192800.15708-5-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180412192800.15708-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
References: <20180412192800.15708-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Wire up the rseq system call on 32-bit ARM.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path, as
well as improving the speed of user-space operations on per-cpu data
compared to using load-linked/store-conditional.

TODO: wire up rseq_syscall() on return from system call. It is used with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y to ensure system calls are not issued within rseq critical
section
