From b787f7ba677840da16a2228c16571ce8a1fcb799 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:45:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracehook: force signal_pending() This defines a new hook tracehook_force_sigpending() that lets tracing code decide to force TIF_SIGPENDING on in recalc_sigpending(). This is not used yet, so it compiles away to nothing for now. It lays the groundwork for new tracing code that can interrupt a task synthetically without actually sending a signal.
