Subject: [PATCH 18/23] tracehook: TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:31:01 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717073101.E62B515411D@magilla.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Roland McGrath's message of  Thursday, 17 July 2008 00:25:41 -0700 <20080717072541.F390E15411D@magilla.localdomain>

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().
