x86_64, entry: Use split-phase syscall_trace_enter for 64-bit syscalls On KVM on my box, this reduces the overhead from an always-accept seccomp filter from ~130ns to ~17ns. Most of that comes from avoiding IRET on every syscall when seccomp is enabled. In extremely approximate hacked-up benchmarking, just bypassing IRET saves about 80ns, so there's another 43ns of savings here from simplifying the seccomp path. The diffstat is also rather nice :) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/a3dbd267ee990110478d349f78cccfdac5497a84.1409954077.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.
