[RFC PATCH for 4.15 00/24] Restartable sequences and CPU op vector v11

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Nov 14 2017 - 15:04:42 EST


Here is the last RFC round of the updated rseq patchset containing:

- Restartable sequences system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32),
- CPU operation vector system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32),
- membarrier shared expedited, and private expedited core serializing
commands.

This is *not* yet a PR. I'm submitting the patchset as RFC one last
time given that I did a few small fixes, and reordered the patchset,
since the last time I sent it as RFC.

You can alternatively find this patchset as a git branch at this
location:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rseq/linux-rseq.git
branch: v4.14-rseq-20171114

Orion Hodson is currently testing the private expedited core
serializing membarrier command on Android, where they have a
context synchronization issue reproducer on arm 64. We should know
more about this shortly.

Thanks,

Mathieu
