that's irrelevant, because all the necessary TIF_ flag processing is
already done in ret_from_sys_call.
The unnecessary TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE code in the 64-bit ret_from_fork was
apparently added by you in 2002:
+ENTRY(ret_from_fork)
+ movq %rbx, %rdi
+ call schedule_tail
+ GET_THREAD_INFO(%rcx)
+ bt $TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE,threadinfo_flags(%rcx)
+ jc rff_trace
when you added it to x86_64 via the changeset quoted below.
at that time the 32-bit code (from which you copied the x86_64 tree,
creating the whole split x86 trees approach) had this simple and
straightforward ret_from_fork implementation:
ENTRY(ret_from_fork)
#if CONFIG_SMP
pushl %ebx
call SYMBOL_NAME(schedule_tail)
addl $4, %esp
#endif
GET_THREAD_INFO(%ebx)
jmp syscall_exit
so by all means the rff_trace/rff_action hack came from you.

Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64 merge: arch + asm
This adds the x86_64 arch and asm directories and a Documentation/x86_64.
It took a bit longer because I first had to make preemption and thread_info
work and also found some other bugs while doing this. The port has been
tested for a long time on UP.
I'm not sure what I should describe. A lot is based on i386 with
a lot of cleanups. I wrote a paper about it for last year's OLS that describes
most of the changes (ftp://ftp.firstfloor.org/pub/ak/x86_64.ps.gz). It is
a bit outdated now, but should give a good overview.
It currently has a completely cut'n'pasted from others+hacked 32bit
emulation. I hope to clean that up in the future by merging the generic
core of this with other 64bit archs.
Thanks,
-Andi
