Hi,
There are significant changes this time. I reverted back to using
a TIF flag to hook on syscalls slow path and put the hooks on
high level exception handlers instead of low level ones.
It makes the code more portable between x86-32 and x86-64, it
makes the hooks clearer and easier to review and the overhead
is lowered in the off-case. This can be even better if we use
jump labels later.
Thanks.
