From 142781e108b13b2b0e8f035cfb5bfbbc8f14d887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:59:56 +0200 Subject: entry: Provide generic syscall entry functionality On syscall entry certain work needs to be done: - Establish state (lockdep, context tracking, tracing) - Conditional work (ptrace, seccomp, audit...) This code is needlessly duplicated and different in all architectures. Provide a generic version based on the x86 implementation which has all the RCU and instrumentation bits right. As interrupt/exception entry from user space needs parts of the same functionality, provide a function for this as well. syscall_enter_from_user_mode() and irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() must be called right after the low level ASM entry. The calling code must be non-instrumentable. After the functions returns state is correct and the subsequent functions can be instrumented.
