[patch V6 00/11] rseq: Implement time slice extension mechanism

[Thomas Gleixner]

This is a follow up on the V5 version:

V1 contains a detailed explanation:

TLDR: Time slice extensions are an attempt to provide opportunistic
priority ceiling without the overhead of an actual priority ceiling
protocol, but also without the guarantees such a protocol provides.

The intent is to avoid situations where a user space thread is interrupted
in a critical section and scheduled out, while holding a resource on which
the preempting thread or other threads in the system might block on. That
obviously prevents those threads from making progress in the worst case for
at least a full time slice. Especially in the context of user space
spinlocks, which are a patently bad idea to begin with, but that's also
true for other mechanisms.

This series uses the existing RSEQ user memory to implement it.

Changes vs. V5:

   - Rebase on v6.19-rc1

   - Fold typo fixes - Sebastian

   - Switch to syscall number 471

The series is based on v6.19-rc1 and is also available from git:
