2023-03-22livepatch,sched: Add livepatch task switching to cond_resched()Josh Poimboeuf
There have been reports [1][2] of live patches failing to complete within a reasonable amount of time due to CPU-bound kthreads. Fix it by patching tasks in cond_resched(). There are four different flavors of cond_resched(), depending on the kernel configuration. Hook into all of them. A more elegant solution might be to use a preempt notifier. However, non-ORC unwinders can't unwind a preempted task reliably.
