[RFC PATCH v6 3/5] Thread-local ABI: wire up ARM system call

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

 



Wire up the thread-local ABI system call on 32-bit ARM.

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

The thread-local ABI can be extended to add features in the future.
