From c68ca6787bdd6d2df37cf950135aa11e71af358a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 17:48:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry: Micro-optimize compat fast syscall arg fetch We're following a 32-bit pointer, and the uaccess code isn't smart enough to figure out that the access_ok() check isn't needed. This saves about three cycles on a cache-hot fast syscall. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
