[RFC PATCH for 4.15 07/24] Restartable sequences: Wire up powerpc system call

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Nov 14 2017 - 15:11:46 EST


From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx>

Wire up the rseq system call on powerpc.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on powerpc by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast
path, as well as improving the speed of user-space operations on per-cpu
data compared to using load-reservation/store-conditional atomics.
