[PATCH v4 5/5] getcpu_cache: wire up x86 32/64 system call

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: 2016-02-23 23:30:22
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 getcpu_cache system call on x86 32/64.

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.
