Subject: [PATCH 1/5] context_tracking: generalize context tracking APIs to support user and guest
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:27:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1423600074-2907-2-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1423600074-2907-1-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com>

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

Split out the mechanism from context_tracking_user_enter and
context_tracking_user_exit into context_tracking_enter and
context_tracking_exit. Leave the old functions in order to avoid
breaking ARM, which calls these functions from assembler code,
and cannot easily use C enum parameters.

Add the expected ctx_state as a parameter to context_tracking_enter and
context_tracking_exit, allowing the same functions to not just track
kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions.

Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>
