[RFC PATCH v8 4/9] Restartable sequences: wire up ARM 32 system call

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-19 20:09:55
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Wire up the rseq system call on 32-bit ARM.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path, as
well as improving the speed of user-space operations on per-cpu data
compared to using load-linked/store-conditional.
