Subject: [PATCHv5 11/21] arm64: don't restore GPRs when context tracking
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:56:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180711135656.20670-12-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180711135656.20670-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>

Now that syscalls are invoked with pt_regs, we no longer need to ensure
that the argument regsiters are live in the entry assembly, and it's
fine to not restore them after context_tracking_user_exit() has
corrupted them.
