Merge tag 'arch-cleanup-2020-10-22' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull arch task_work cleanups from Jens Axboe: "Two cleanups that don't fit other categories: - Finally get the task_work_add() cleanup done properly, so we don't have random 0/1/false/true/TWA_SIGNAL confusing use cases. Updates all callers, and also fixes up the documentation for task_work_add(). - While working on some TIF related changes for 5.11, this TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cleanup fell out of that. Remove some arch duplication for how that is handled" * tag 'arch-cleanup-2020-10-22' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: task_work: cleanup notification modes tracehook: clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in tracehook_notify_resume()
