64-bit syscalls currently have an optimization in which they are called with partial pt_regs. A small handful require full pt_regs. In the 32-bit and compat cases, I cleaned this up by forcing full pt_regs for all syscalls. The performance hit doesn't really matter as the affected system calls are fundamentally heavy and this is the 32-bit compat case. I want to clean up the 64-bit case as well, but I don't want to hurt fast path performance. To do that, I want to force the syscalls that use pt_regs onto the slow path. This will enable us to make slow path syscalls be real ABI-compliant C functions. Use the new syscall entry qualification machinery for this. 'stub_clone' is now 'stub_clone/ptregs'. The next patch will eliminate the stubs, and we'll just have 'sys_clone/ptregs'. As of this patch, two-phase entry tracing is no longer used. It has served its purpose (namely a huge speedup on some workloads prior to more general opportunistic SYSRET support), and once the dust settles I'll send patches to back it out. The implementation is heavily based on a patch from Brian Gerst: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1449666173-15366-1-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com Originally-From: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: H.
