Subject: [patch 06/11] rseq: Optimize exit to user space further
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:29:27 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813162824.164609663@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250813155941.014821755@linutronix.de>

Now that the event pending bit management is consistent, the invocation of
__rseq_handle_notify_resume() can be avoided if the event pending bit is
not set.

This is correct because of the following order:

  1)  if (TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME)
  2)    clear(TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME);
  	smp_mb__after_atomic();
  3)  	if (event_pending)
  4)       __rseq_handle_notify_resume()
  5)         guard()
  6)           work = check_and_clear_pending();

Any new event, which hits between #1 and #2 will be visible in #3.

Any new event, which hits after #2, will either be visible in #3 and
therefore consumed in #6 or missed in #3. The latter is not a problem as
the new event will also re-raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which will cause the
calling exit loop take another round.

The quick check #3 optimizes for the common case, where event_pending is
false. Ignore the quick check when CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ is enabled to widen
the test coverage.
