[RFC PATCH for 4.15 05/14] Restartable sequences: wire up x86 32/64 system call

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

 



Wire up the rseq system call on x86 32/64.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on x86 by removing the need to perform a function call, "lsl"
instruction, or system call on the fast path, as well as improving the
speed of user-space operations on per-cpu data.
