From 86a1c34a929f30fde8ad01ea8245df61ddcf58b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:37:04 -0700 Subject: x86_64 syscall audit fast-path This adds a fast path for 64-bit syscall entry and exit when TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing. This path does not need to save and restore all registers as the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.
