[RFC PATCH 0/2] s390/klp: s390 support
From: Miroslav Benes
Date: Mon Apr 18 2016 - 11:01:31 EST
So this is something we have in kGraft for a while (though the actual
implementation in s390's entry.S differs).
The first patch is needed because we want our TIF flag to be part of
_TIF_WORK and s390's tm instruction tests only 8-bits.
The second patch adds a call to klp_update_task_universe() to entry.S.
Specifically to syscall and interrupt return paths.
WARNING: It is only compile-tested. It even cannot be linked, because
klp_update_task_universe() is static inline. Josh, you're gonna change
this part anyway to remove TIF_KLP_NEED_UPDATE from arch-independent
code, aren't you?
Comments are obviously welcome. s390 maintainters not CC'ed yet.
