Subject: [PATCH 11/91] um: series of __get_user() is costly insigframe handling

From: Al Viro
Date: Thu Aug 18 2011 - 15:00:52 EST



It's not x86, where __get_user() is a single dereference; here it's
a single ptrace(2) call in host, which obviously costs a lot more.
IOW, it's cheaper to do copy_{to,from}_user() once than bother with
fields one by one...
