[RFC PATCH for 4.15 08/14] Restartable sequences: Wire up powerpc system call

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: 2017-10-12 23:06:00
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Boqun Feng <redacted>

Wire up the rseq system call on powerpc.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on powerpc 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-reservation/store-conditional atomics.
