Subject: [patch 12/16] system call optimization.
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 11:29:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070710093121.020580356@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070710092935.896013926@de.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 012-svc-speedup.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2322 bytes --]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

After the in-kernel system call has been remove the system call path
can be optimized. The problem state bit of the old psw is always set
between system_call and sysc_do_svc. SAVE_ALL_SVC uses this information
to avoid two instructions.
