entry: Split up exit_to_user_mode_prepare()

2025-11-04T07:35:17+00:00

exit_to_user_mode_prepare() is used for both interrupts and syscalls, but there is extra rseq work, which is only required for in the interrupt exit case. Split up the function and provide wrappers for syscalls and interrupts, which allows to separate the rseq exit work in the next step.

rseq: Use static branch for syscall exit debug when GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY=y

2025-11-04T07:33:27+00:00

Make the syscall exit debug mechanism available via the static branch on architectures which utilize the generic entry code.

entry: Split generic entry into generic exception and syscall entry

2025-06-30T17:52:55+00:00

Currently CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY enables both the generic exception entry logic and the generic syscall entry logic, which are otherwise loosely coupled. Introduce separate config options for these so that architectures can select the two independently. This will make it easier for architectures to migrate to generic entry code.

entry: Inline syscall_exit_to_user_mode()

2025-04-29T06:27:10+00:00

Similar to commit 221a164035fd ("entry: Move syscall_enter_from_user_mode() to header file"), move syscall_exit_to_user_mode() to the header file as well. Testing was done with the byte-unixbench syscall benchmark (which calls getpid) and QEMU. On riscv I measured a 7.09246% improvement, on x86 a 2.98843% improvement, on loongarch a 6.07954% improvement, and on s390 a 11.1328% improvement. The Intel bot also reported "kernel test robot noticed a 1.9% improvement of stress-ng.seek.ops_per_sec".

sched: Add TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY infrastructure

2024-11-05T11:55:37+00:00

Add the basic infrastructure to split the TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit in two. Either bit will cause a resched on return-to-user, but only TIF_NEED_RESCHED will drive IRQ preemption. No behavioural change intended.

treewide: context_tracking: Rename CONTEXT_* into CT_STATE_*

2024-07-29T02:03:10+00:00

Context tracking state related symbols currently use a mix of the CONTEXT_ (e.g. CONTEXT_KERNEL) and CT_SATE_ (e.g. CT_STATE_MASK) prefixes. Clean up the naming and make the ctx_state enum use the CT_STATE_ prefix.
