[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] thread_local_abi: wire up x86 32/64 system call

flat view
STALE3949d

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 entry code · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski

Wire up the thread local ABI on x86 32/64. Call the
thread_local_abi_handle_notify_resume() function on return to
userspace if TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag is set.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a getcpu operation
on x86 by removing the need to perform a function call, "lsl"
instruction, or system call on the fast path.
