From 32034df66b5f49626aa450ceaf1849a08d87906e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 09:45:26 +0100 Subject: rseq: Switch to TIF_RSEQ if supported TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is a multiplexing TIF bit, which is suboptimal especially with the RSEQ fast path depending on it, but not really handling it. Define a separate TIF_RSEQ in the generic TIF space and enable the full separation of fast and slow path for architectures which utilize that. That avoids the hassle with invocations of resume_user_mode_work() from hypervisors, which clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. It makes the therefore required re-evaluation at the end of vcpu_run() a NOOP on architectures which utilize the generic TIF space and have a separate TIF_RSEQ. The hypervisor TIF handling does not include the separate TIF_RSEQ as there is no point in doing so. The guest does neither know nor care about the VMM host applications RSEQ state. That state is only relevant when the ioctl() returns to user space. The fastpath implementation still utilizes TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for failure handling, but this only happens within exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so arguably the hypervisor ioctl() code is long done when this happens.
