Subject: x86: Split syscall_trace_enter into two phases
X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.19/prcm-cleanup~83^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0ffbaabc46db508b8717f023c0ce03b980eefac;p=pandora-kernel.git

x86: Split syscall_trace_enter into two phases

This splits syscall_trace_enter into syscall_trace_enter_phase1 and
syscall_trace_enter_phase2.  Only phase 2 has full pt_regs, and only
phase 2 is permitted to modify any of pt_regs except for orig_ax.

The intent is that phase 1 can be called from the syscall fast path.

In this implementation, phase1 can handle any combination of
TIF_NOHZ (RCU context tracking), TIF_SECCOMP, and TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT,
unless seccomp requests a ptrace event, in which case phase2 is
forced.

In principle, this could yield a big speedup for TIF_NOHZ as well as
for TIF_SECCOMP if syscall exit work were similarly split up.
