rseq: Add fields and constants for time slice extension
Aside of a Kconfig knob add the following items: - Two flag bits for the rseq user space ABI, which allow user space to query the availability and enablement without a syscall. - A new member to the user space ABI struct rseq, which is going to be used to communicate request and grant between kernel and user space. - A rseq state struct to hold the kernel state of this - Documentation of the new mechanism Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251215155708.669472597@linutronix.de
