Hi Maintainer,

The below commit fixes the Warning shown in the trace below when debug 
options are enabled in the kernel build. Could you please merge this to

Thanks

     ARM: entry: efficiency cleanups

     Make the "fast" syscall return path fast again.  The addition of IRQ
     tracing and context tracking has made this path grossly inefficient.
     We can do much better if these options are enabled if we save the
     syscall return code on the stack - we then don't need to save a bunch
     of registers around every single callout to C code.
