Subject: [PATCH v14 06/10] arm64: syscall: Introduce syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:26:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320102620.1336796-7-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320102620.1336796-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>

Refactor the system call exit path to align with the generic entry
framework. This consolidates thread flag checking, rseq handling, and
syscall tracing into a structure that mirrors the generic
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() implementation.

[Rationale]
The generic entry code employs a hierarchical approach for
syscall exit work:

1. syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(): The entry point that handles
   rseq and checks if further exit work (tracing/audit) is required.

2. syscall_exit_work(): Performs the actual tracing, auditing, and
   ptrace reporting.

[Changes]
- Rename and Encapsulate: Rename syscall_trace_exit() to
  syscall_exit_work() and make it static, as it is now an internal
  helper for the exit path.

- New Entry Point: Implement syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() to
  replace the manual flag-reading logic in el0_svc_common(). This
  function now encapsulates the rseq_syscall() call and the
  conditional execution of syscall_exit_work().

- Simplify el0_svc_common(): Remove the complex conditional checks
  for tracing and CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ at the end of the syscall path,
  delegating this responsibility to the new helper.

- Helper Migration: Move has_syscall_work() to asm/syscall.h
  to allow its reuse across ptrace.c and syscall.c.

- Clean up RSEQ: Remove the explicit IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ)
  check in the caller, as rseq_syscall() is already a no-op when the
  config is disabled.
