[PATCH v4 09/10] powerpc/signal64: Rewrite rt_sigreturn() to minimise uaccess switches

Christopher M. Riedl cmr at codefail.de
Thu Jan 28 15:04:23 AEDT 2021


From: Daniel Axtens <dja at axtens.net>

Add uaccess blocks and use the 'unsafe' versions of functions doing user
access where possible to reduce the number of times uaccess has to be
opened/closed.
