To reduce spam, I have tried not to Cc people on patches they aren't likely to care about. The complete series can be found in the LKML or linux-arch archives.] The core framework for the prctl() syscall is unloved and looking rather crusty these days. It also relies on defining ancillary boilerplate macros for each prctl() in order to control conditional compilation of the different prctl calls. We have better ways to do this now. This series attempts to modernise the code by defining a couple of new Kconfig variables HAVE_PRCTL_ARCH and HAVE_ARCH_PR_SET_GET_UNALIGN to allow architectures to provide hooks for arch-dependent prctls. For now this series has had minimal testing: some basic testing of arch-specific prctls using PR_SVE_SET_VL on arm64; build-tested on x86; otherwise untested. This is not polished yet... but I'm interested to know what people think about the approach.
