syscall/invalid

Micro-benchmark measuring invalid system call rejection latency.

Benchmark Profile

  • Type: Micro

  • Kernel subsystem: Syscall dispatch, seccomp filter path

  • Coverage: Directly measured

  • Topology: Single role: executer

Overview

Measures how quickly the kernel rejects an invalid syscall number. A direct measurement of the syscall dispatch fast-path and seccomp filter overhead for unknown syscalls.
