[RFC PATCH v2 3/3] getcpu_cache: wire up x86 32/64 system call

Show all headers | View raw

Wire up the getcpu_cache system call on x86 32/64. Call the
getcpu_cache_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 x86 by removing the need to perform a function call, "lsl"
instruction, or system call on the fast path.
