Subject: [PATCH v7 0/7] Syscall User Dispatch
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 22:28:33 -0500	[thread overview]

Hi,

This is the v7 of syscall user dispatch.  This version is a bit
different from v6 on the following points, after the modifications
requested on that submission.

* The interface no longer receives  <start>,<end> end parameters, but
  <start>,<length> as suggested by PeterZ.

* Syscall User Dispatch is now done before ptrace, and this means there
  is some SYSCALL_WORK_EXIT work that needs to be done.  No challenges
  there, but I'd like to draw attention to that region of the code that
  is new in this submission.

* The previous TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH is now handled through
  SYSCALL_WORK flags.

* Introduced a new test as patch 6, which benchmarks the fast submission
  path and test the return in blocked selector state.

* Nothing is architecture dependent anymore. No config switches.  It
  only depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY.

Other smaller changes are documented one each commit.

This was tested using the kselftests tests in patch 5 and 6 and compiled
tested with !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY.

This patchset is based on the core/entry branch of the TIP tree.
