    tracehook: TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME · 64b1208d
    Roland McGrath 提交于
    This adds tracehook.h inlines to enable a new arch feature in support of
    user debugging/tracing.  This is not used yet, but it lays the groundwork
    for a debugger to be able to wrangle a task that's possibly running,
    without interrupting its syscalls in progress.
    
    Each arch should define TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and in their entry.S code treat
    it much like TIF_SIGPENDING.  That is, it causes you to take the slow path
    when returning to user mode, where you get the full user-mode state
    accessible as for signal handling or ptrace.  The arch code should check
    TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after handling TIF_SIGPENDING.  When it's set, clear it
    and then call tracehook_notify_resume().
    
    In future, tracing code will call set_notify_resume() when it wants to get
    a callback in tracehook_notify_resume().
