Subject[PATCH 0/6] Reclaim x86 psABI TIF flags
Date
Hi,

This patch set reduces the number of arch-specific TIF_ flags in x86, as
a clean up to reduce the pressure over the few remaining x86_32 TIF
bits and as a preparation to have the arch-agnostic TIF_ flags shared by
different architectures by the common syscall entry code recently
published by Thomas Gleixner.

This is based on top of:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/entry

It was tested by booting and running an i386 rootfs over the 64bit
kernel, and also by running x32 binaries on top of it.

There is one remaining use of TIF_IA32 in User Mode Linux which is
turned off by a bogus define, such that I think it is currently dead
code and apparently a bug. I think, it was wired to an old TIF_IA32
flag definition that doesn't exist anymore in arch/um. I think it
deserves a fix other than dropping that code, but it is a different
piece of work that I will tackle next.

Gabriel Krisman Bertazi (6):
arch: x86: Don't use TIF flags for mm context
arch: x86: Wrap TIF_IA32 checks
arch: x86: Wrap TIF_X32 checks
arch: x86: Expose psABI on thread_info
arch: x86: Reclaim TIF_IA32 flag
arch: x86: Reclaim TIF_X32 flag
