From a768f78429fd9b0b07f5795dd62f31a519fc1bae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 19:42:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] livepatch/powerpc: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch per-task consistency model for powerpc. The bit getting set indicates the thread has a pending patch which needs to be applied when the thread exits the kernel. The bit is included in the _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK macro so that do_notify_resume() and klp_update_patch_state() get called when the bit is set.
