[PATCH 08/18] arm64: convert raw syscall invocation to C

Mark Rutland mark.rutland at arm.com
Mon May 14 02:46:30 PDT 2018


As a first step towards invoking syscalls with a pt_regs argument,
convert the raw syscall invocation logic to C. We end up with a bit more
register shuffling, but the unified invocation logic means we can unify
the tracing paths, too.

This only converts the invocation of the syscall. The rest of the
syscall triage and tracing is left in assembly for now, and will be
converted in subsequent patches.
