[PATCH RFC 20/28] ARM: entry: Untangle ret_fast_syscall/to_user

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Thu Oct 10 04:33:58 PDT 2024


The return to userspace is a bit hard to follow. To prepare
the ground for further refactorings we rewrite the functions
to ret_fast_syscall and ret_to_user are mostly stand-alone
symbols.
