[patch 1/4] entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter()

Thomas Gleixner tglx at kernel.org
Sun Jul 12 14:25:17 PDT 2026


Move it out of line and let it reread the syscall number on it's own. That
makes the low level entry code denser and allows to move the reread to the
call site of syscall_trace_enter() once the tracer is fixed up.
