From 1dcf74f6edfc3a9acd84d83d8865dd9e2a3b1d1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 15:13:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64, entry: Use split-phase syscall_trace_enter for 64-bit syscalls On KVM on my box, this reduces the overhead from an always-accept seccomp filter from ~130ns to ~17ns. Most of that comes from avoiding IRET on every syscall when seccomp is enabled. In extremely approximate hacked-up benchmarking, just bypassing IRET saves about 80ns, so there's another 43ns of savings here from simplifying the seccomp path. The diffstat is also rather nice :) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/a3dbd267ee990110478d349f78cccfdac5497a84.1409954077.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.
