[PATCH 04/14] arm: Wire up restartable sequences system call

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: 2018-04-30 22:48:07
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.

TODO: wire up rseq_syscall() on return from system call. It is used with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y to ensure system calls are not issued within rseq critical
section
