Like syscall entry all architectures have similar and pointlessly different
code to handle pending work before returning from a syscall to user space.
1) One-time syscall exit work:
- rseq syscall exit
- audit
- syscall tracing
- tracehook (single stepping)
2) Preparatory work
- Exit to user mode loop (common TIF handling).
- Architecture specific one time work arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
- Address limit and lockdep checks
3) Final transition (lockdep, tracing, context tracking, RCU). Invokes
arch_exit_to_user_mode() to handle e.g. speculation mitigations
Provide a generic version based on the x86 code which has all the RCU and
instrumentation protections right.
Provide a variant for interrupt return to user mode as well which shares
the above #2 and #3 work items.
After syscall_exit_to_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() the
architecture code just has to return to user space. The code after
returning from these functions must not be instrumented.

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.
