From 3302caddf10ad50710dbb7a94ccbdb3ad5bf1412 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:13:37 +0100 Subject: ARM: entry: efficiency cleanups Make the "fast" syscall return path fast again. The addition of IRQ tracing and context tracking has made this path grossly inefficient. We can do much better if these options are enabled if we save the syscall return code on the stack - we then don't need to save a bunch of registers around every single callout to C code.
