Subject: [PATCH] syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 15:28:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709072803.3843948-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
Currently, only x86 genuinely implements and supports Syscall User
Dispatch (SUD). Multiple architectures provide a stub
arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() returning 'false' simply to satisfy
GENERIC_ENTRY compilation, which creates a false impression of feature
support.
Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH to decouple this mechanism
from GENERIC_ENTRY. Select it exclusively on x86 and remove the redundant
stub functions from other architectures.
