Subject[PATCHSET RFC 0/3] kernel: decouple TASK_WORK TWA_SIGNAL handling from signals
Date
Hi,

I split this up into 3 pieces instead of the messy single patch, hope
this helps with review.

Patch 1 adds task_sigpending(), which tests TIF_SIGPENDING. Core use
cases that need to check for an actual signal pending are switched to
using task_sigpending() instead of signal_pending(). This should fix
Oleg's concern on signal_pending() == true, but no signals pending,
for actual signal delivery.

Patch 2 adds x86 and generic entry code support for TIF_TASKWORK.

Patch 3 adds task_work support for TIF_TASKWORK, if the arch supports it.

There's no need for any io_uring specific changes, so I've dropped those.
If TIF_TASKWORK is used, then JOBCTL_TASK_WORK will never be true and
hence we won't enter that case. If TIF_TASKWORK isn't available, then
we still need that code.

I've run this through my usual liburing test, and it passes. I also ran
it through all the ltp signal testing, and no changes from mainline in
terms of all tests passing.
