[PATCH v16 07/42] dept: distinguish each kernel context from another

Byungchul Park byungchul at sk.com
Mon May 19 09:17:51 UTC 2025


Each unique kernel context, in dept's point of view, should be
identified on every entrance to kernel mode e.g. system call or user
oriented fault.  Otherwise, dept may track meaningless dependencies
across different kernel context.

Plus, in order to update kernel context id at the very beginning of each
entrance, arch code support is required, that could be configured by
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEPT_SUPPORT.
