From c6156e1da633f241e132eaea3b676d674376d770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Schnelle Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 15:27:55 +0100 Subject: entry: Add syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() This is the same as syscall_exit_to_user_mode() but without calling exit_to_user_mode(). This can be used if there is an architectural reason to avoid the combo function, e.g. restarting a syscall without returning to userspace. Before returning to user space the caller has to invoke exit_to_user_mode().
