[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] getcpu_cache: wire up ARM system call

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Wire up the getcpu cache system call on 32-bit ARM. Call the
getcpu_cache_handle_notify_resume() function on return to
userspace if TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag is set.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a getcpu operation
on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path.
