Subject: [PATCH v4 5/8] powerpc: add exit_flags field in pt_regs
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:09:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123073916.956498-6-mkchauras@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260123073916.956498-1-mkchauras@linux.ibm.com>
From: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya <mchauras@linux.ibm.com>
Add a new field `exit_flags` in the pt_regs structure. This field will hold
the flags set during interrupt or syscall execution that are required during
exit to user mode.
Specifically, the `TIF_RESTOREALL` flag, stored in this field, helps the
exit routine determine if any NVGPRs were modified and need to be restored
before returning to userspace.
This addition ensures a clean and architecture-specific mechanism to track
per-syscall or per-interrupt state transitions related to register restore.
Changes:
- Add `exit_flags` and `__pt_regs_pad` to maintain 16-byte stack alignment
- Update asm-offsets.c and ptrace.c for offset and validation
- Update PT_* constants in uapi header to reflect the new layout
