[RFC PATCH 2/2] thread_local_abi: wire up ARM system call

Show all headers | View raw

Wire up the thread local ABI on ARM32. Call the
getcpu_cache_handle_notify_resume() function on return to userspace if
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag is set.

This provides a way to implement a sched_getcpu() on ARM without
requiring to perform a system call on the fast path.

[ Untested. ]
