[PATCH v21 06/15] arm64: syscall: Invert the exit-path flags check in el0_svc_common()
From: Jinjie Ruan
Date: Wed Nov 11 2026 - 06:45:53 EST
In the fast exit path of el0_svc_common(), invert the nested flags
check so that it calls syscall_trace_exit() directly when work is
pending and then returns, instead of returning early when no work is
pending and falling through to the trace_exit label.
This makes the fast path call the exit work in the same place as the
slow path, which later patches fold into a single helper.
In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry. No
functional changes.
