[PATCH 4/6] kernel: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Mon Oct 05 2020 - 11:05:04 EST


This adds TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling in the generic code, which if set,
will return true if signal_pending() is used in a wait loop. That causes
an exit of the loop so that notify_signal tracehooks can be run. If the
wait loop is currently inside a system call, the system call is restarted
once task_work has been processed.
