Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] entry: Move ret_from_fork() to C and inline syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 21:33:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250127-riscv_optimize_entry-v4-0-868cf7702dc9@rivosinc.com> (raw)

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 [1] 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.

Since this is on QEMU, I know these numbers are not perfect, but they
show a trend of general improvement across all architectures that use
the generic entry code.
