On syscall entry certain work needs to be done: - Establish state (lockdep, context tracking, tracing) - Conditional work (ptrace, seccomp, audit...) This code is needlessly duplicated and different in all architectures. Provide a generic version based on the x86 implementation which has all the RCU and instrumentation bits right. As interrupt/exception entry from user space needs parts of the same functionality, provide a function for this as well. syscall_enter_from_user_mode() and irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() must be called right after the low level ASM entry. The calling code must be non-instrumentable. After the functions returns state is correct and the subsequent functions can be instrumented.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
