[PATCH v16 02/18] syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce a weak fallback for arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn()

From: Jinjie Ruan

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 09:15:34 EST


Currently, multiple architectures (LoongArch, RISC-V, S390, Powerpc)
provide identical stubs for arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() that simply
return false. This results in redundant boilerplate code across the tree.

Introduce a default __weak implementation of
arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() directly in syscall_user_dispatch.c that
returns false. This allows architectures that do not utilize a vDSO
sigreturn to entirely drop their redundant inline definitions.

Architectures requiring a specialized check (such as x86) will continue to
override this fallback with their strong symbol definitions.

Clean up the redundant implementations in loongarch, riscv, s390
and powerpc.
