MIPS has the sparse syscall shenanigans... idek how that works. Maybe
someone can clarify?

I remember yours was:
static inline u8 seccomp_get_arch(u32 syscall_arch, u32 syscall_nr)
{
[...]
switch (syscall_arch) {
case SECCOMP_ARCH:
seccomp_arch = SECCOMP_ARCH_IS_NATIVE;
break;
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
case SECCOMP_ARCH_COMPAT:
seccomp_arch = SECCOMP_ARCH_IS_COMPAT;
break;
#endif
default:
seccomp_arch = SECCOMP_ARCH_IS_UNKNOWN;
}
What I'm relying on here is that the compiler will unroll the loop.
How does the compiler perform switch statements? I was imagining it
would be similar, with "case" corresponding to a compare on the
immediate, and the assign as a move to a register, and break
corresponding to a jump. this would also be O(n) to the number of
arches. Yes, compilers can also do an O(1) table lookup, but that is
nonsensical here -- the arch numbers occupy the MSBs.
That said, does O(1) or O(n) matter here? Given that n is at most 3
you might as well consider it a constant.
Also, does "collapse in one arch case" actually worth it? Given that
there's a likely(), and the other side is a WARN_ON_ONCE(), the
compiler will layout the likely path in the fast path and branch
prediction will be in our favor, right?
