Subject: [PATCH v14 06/13] x86/um: nommu: process/thread handling
Date: Wed,  4 Feb 2026 11:28:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4a58e2e3f5a18c5bae50dd41dc0dc8ae901085ee.1770170302.git.thehajime@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770170302.git.thehajime@gmail.com>

Since ptrace facility isn't used under !MMU of UML, there is different
code path to invoke processes/threads; there are no external process
used, and need to properly configure some of registers (fs segment
register for TLS, etc) on every context switch, etc.

Signals aren't delivered in non-ptrace syscall entry/leave so, we also
need to handle pending signal by ourselves.

ptrace related syscalls are not tested yet so, marked
arch_has_single_step() unsupported in !MMU environment.
