Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] thread_local_abi: wire up ARM system call
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:02:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450807333-22104-3-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1450807333-22104-1-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

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. ]
