[PATCHSET v5] Add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

The goal is this patch series is to decouple TWA_SIGNAL based task_work
from real signals and signal delivery. The motivation is speeding up
TWA_SIGNAL based task_work, particularly for threaded setups where
->sighand is shared across threads. See the last patch for numbers.

Changes since v4:
- Change ifdef as per Thomas
- Split x86 change from generic entry code
- Pass in TIF flags for arch_do_signal() to avoid doing multiple bit
  tests
