The pretty much unused RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags introduce complexity in rseq, and are subtly buggy [1]. Solving those issues requires introducing additional complexity in the rseq implementation for each supported architecture. Considering that it complexifies the rseq ABI, I am proposing that we deprecate those flags. [2] So far there appears to be consensus from maintainers of user-space projects impacted by this feature that its removal would be a welcome simplification. [3] The deprecation approach proposed here is to issue WARN_ON_ONCE() when encountering those flags and kill the offending process with sigsegv. This should allow us to quickly identify whether anyone yells at us for removing this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
