Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 3/5] Thread-local ABI: wire up ARM system call
Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 13:01:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459789313-4917-4-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1459789313-4917-1-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Wire up the thread-local ABI system call on 32-bit ARM.
This provides an ABI improving the speed of a getcpu operation
on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path.
The thread-local ABI can be extended to add features in the future.
