Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] powerpc/signal: Convert to scoped user access
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 10:46:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1780389863.git.chleroy@kernel.org> (raw)
This series converts powerpc architecture signal handling to scoped
user access and enlarges some of the block accesses to minimise the
number of times user access has to be opened and closed.
As mentioned in individual patches, some bring real performance
improvement.
This series is built from previous series [1] which predates
implementation of scoped user access.

Changes in v2:
- Add a stub setup_tm_sigcontexts() for when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is not set in patch 2
