[PATCHv4 10/19] arm64: don't restore GPRs when context tracking

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

 



Now that syscalls are invoked with pt_regs, we no longer need to ensure
that the argument regsiters are live in the entry assembly, and it's
fine to not restore them after context_tracking_user_exit() has
corrupted them.
