[Devel] [PATCH 0/9] powerpc checkpoint/restart kernel support

[Nathan Lynch]

Patches 1-3 fix general issues and can be applied immediately.

Patches 4-8 implement the checkpoint and restart syscalls and
architecture callbacks.

Patch 9 implements the clone_with_pids syscall, but I think the shape
of that interface is yet to be finalized, so I guess it's FYI for now.

Simple single task checkpoint and restart work, as does
clone_with_pids, apparently.  Multiple task restart fails; the
coordinator task appears to be receiving a signal during
wait_all_tasks_finish() -> wait_for_completion_interruptible() for
some reason I am still trying to tracking down.

Nathan Lynch (9):
  checkpoint: fix integer-pointer conversion warnings
  fix trivial build breaks in compat code
  futex.h: fix compat builds
  powerpc: reserve checkpoint arch identifiers
  powerpc: provide APIs for validating and updating DABR
  powerpc: checkpoint/restart implementation
  powerpc: wire up checkpoint and restart syscalls
  powerpc: enable checkpoint support in Kconfig
  powerpc: clone_with_pids implementation
