On KVM on my box, this reduces the overhead from an always-accept seccomp filter from ~130ns to ~17ns. Most of that comes from avoiding IRET on every syscall when seccomp is enabled. In extremely approximate hacked-up benchmarking, just bypassing IRET saves about 80ns, so there's another 43ns of savings here from simplifying the seccomp path. The diffstat is also rather nice :) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S | 38 +++++++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S b/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S index 1eb3094..13e0c1d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S @@ -479,22 +479,6 @@ sysret_signal: #ifdef CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL /* - * Fast path for syscall audit without full syscall trace. - * We just call __audit_syscall_entry() directly, and then - * jump back to the normal fast path. - */ -auditsys: - movq %r10,%r9 /* 6th arg: 4th syscall arg */ - movq %rdx,%r8 /* 5th arg: 3rd syscall arg */ - movq %rsi,%rcx /* 4th arg: 2nd syscall arg */ - movq %rdi,%rdx /* 3rd arg: 1st syscall arg */ - movq %rax,%rsi /* 2nd arg: syscall number */ - movl $AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64,%edi /* 1st arg: audit arch */ - call __audit_syscall_entry - LOAD_ARGS 0 /* reload call-clobbered registers */ - jmp system_call_fastpath - - /* * Return fast path for syscall audit.
