Subsystem:
linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), loongarch, risc-v architecture, s390 architecture, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers:

Currently, only x86 genuinely implements and supports Syscall User Dispatch (SUD). Multiple architectures provide a stub arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() returning 'false' simply to satisfy GENERIC_ENTRY compilation, which creates a false impression of feature support. Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH to decouple this mechanism from GENERIC_ENTRY. Select it exclusively on x86 and remove the redundant stub functions from other architectures.
