Implement and enable context tracking for arm64 (which is a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ support). This patchset builds upon earlier work by Kevin Hilman and is based on Will Deacon's tree.
Changes v6 to v7: * Rename parameter of ct_user_exit from restore to syscall Changes v5 to v6: * Don't save far_el1 in x26 in el0_dbg path (not needed) * TIF_NOHZ processes go through the slow path (so no register save/restore is needed in ct_user_enter) Changes v4 to v5: * Improvement to code restoring far_el1 (suggested by Christopher Covington) * Improvement to register save/restore in ct_user_enter Changes v3 to v4: * Rename parameter of ct_user_exit from save to restore * Rebased patch to Will Deacon's tree (branch remotes/origin/aarch64 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git) Changes v2 to v3: * Save/restore necessary registers in ct_user_enter and ct_user_exit * Annotate "error paths" out of el0_sync with ct_user_exit Changes v1 to v2: * Save far_el1 in x26 temporarily Larry Bassel (2): arm64: adjust el0_sync so that a function can be called arm64: enable context tracking arch/arm64/Kconfig | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h | 4 +++ arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
