[PATCH 1/7] x86: don't pointlessly reload the system call number

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

 



From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We have it in a register in the low-level asm, just pass it in as an
argument rather than have do_syscall_64() load it back in from the
ptregs pointer.
