Dynamically enabled features can be requested by any thread of a running process at any time. The request does neither enable the feature nor allocate larger buffers. It just stores the permission to use the feature by adding the features to the permission bitmap and by calculating the required sizes for kernel and user space. The reallocation of the kernel buffer happens when the feature is used for the first time which is caught by an exception. The permission bitmap is then checked and if the feature is permitted, then it becomes fully enabled. If not, the task dies similarly to a task which uses an undefined instruction. The size information is precomputed to allow proper sigaltstack size checks once the feature is permitted, but not yet in use because otherwise this would open race windows where too small stacks could be installed causing a later fail on signal delivery. Initialize them to the default feature set and sizes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Chang S.
