Hi,
This is the v7 of syscall user dispatch. This version is a bit different from v6 on the following points, after the modifications requested on that submission.
* The interface no longer receives <start>,<end> end parameters, but <start>,<length> as suggested by PeterZ.
* Syscall User Dispatch is now done before ptrace, and this means there is some SYSCALL_WORK_EXIT work that needs to be done. No challenges there, but I'd like to draw attention to that region of the code that is new in this submission.
* The previous TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH is now handled through SYSCALL_WORK flags.
* Introduced a new test as patch 6, which benchmarks the fast submission path and test the return in blocked selector state.
* Nothing is architecture dependent anymore. No config switches. It only depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY.
Other smaller changes are documented one each commit.
This was tested using the kselftests tests in patch 5 and 6 and compiled tested with !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY.
This patchset is based on the core/entry branch of the TIP tree.
