[RFC PATCH v2 3/3] thread_local_abi: wire up ARM system call

Show all headers | View raw

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

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a getcpu operation
on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path.

[ Untested. ]
