From afb94c9e0b413bbdea779192eaca076c43ede031 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 19:42:31 -0600 Subject: livepatch/x86: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch per-task consistency model for x86_64. 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 placed in the _TIF_ALLWORK_MASK macro, which results in exit_to_usermode_loop() calling klp_update_patch_state() when it's set.
