- Reduce the amount of work to release a task stack in context
switch. There is no real reason to do cgroup accounting and memory
freeing in this performance sensitive context. Aside of this the
invoked functions cannot be called from this preemption disabled
context on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Solve this by moving the
accounting into do_exit() and delaying the freeing of the stack unless
the vmap stack can be cached.
- Provide a mechanism to delay raising signals from atomic context on
PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels as sighand::lock cannot be acquired. Store
the information in the task struct and raise it in the exit path.

Pull core process handling RT latency updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Reduce the amount of work to release a task stack in context switch.
There is no real reason to do cgroup accounting and memory freeing in
this performance sensitive context.
Aside of this the invoked functions cannot be called from this
preemption disabled context on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Solve this
by moving the accounting into do_exit() and delaying the freeing of
the stack unless the vmap stack can be cached.
- Provide a mechanism to delay raising signals from atomic context on
PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels as sighand::lock cannot be acquired. Store
the information in the task struct and raise it in the exit path.

signal, x86: Delay calling signals in atomic on RT enabled kernels
fork: Use IS_ENABLED() in account_kernel_stack()
fork: Only cache the VMAP stack in finish_task_switch()
fork: Move task stack accounting to do_exit()
fork: Move memcg_charge_kernel_stack() into CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
fork: Don't assign the stack pointer in dup_task_struct()

fork: Duplicate task_struct before stack allocation
fork: Redo ifdefs around task stack handling
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.
