SubjectRe: [patch] entry.S asm improvement (removed some ugly jmp)
From
Date

> my asm patch?

Yes. I have an old micro-benchmark (old, but extremely stable) that measures
how many times "signal();kill(myself,..)" can be run per second :

With 2.1.130 : 164564..164606 loops/s
With 2.1.130 + your patch : 164243..164329 loops/s

lat_sig (from lmbench) says :
2.1.130 2.1.130 + your patch
Signal handler installation: 1.490us 1.490 us
Signal handler overhead: 3.844us 3.854 us

So it look like micro-benchmarks agree with the simulation ;-)
