[PATCH 1/8] context_tracking: Export context state for generic vtime

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Jan 22 2013 - 19:04:03 EST


Export the context state: whether we run in user / kernel
from the context tracking subsystem point of view.

This is going to be used by the generic virtual cputime
accounting subsystem that is needed to implement the full
dynticks.
