powerpc: add exit_flags field in pt_regs
Add a new field `exit_flags` in the pt_regs structure. This field will hold the flags set during interrupt or syscall execution that are required during exit to user mode. Specifically, the `TIF_RESTOREALL` flag, stored in this field, helps the exit routine determine if any NVGPRs were modified and need to be restored before returning to userspace. This addition ensures a clean and architecture-specific mechanism to track per-syscall or per-interrupt state transitions related to register restore. Changes: - Add `exit_flags` and `__pt_regs_pad` to maintain 16-byte stack alignment - Update asm-offsets.c and ptrace.c for offset and validation - Update PT_* constants in uapi header to reflect the new layout Signed-off-by: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya <mchauras@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Samir M <samir@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Tested-by: Venkat Rao Bagalkote <venkat88@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260427122742.210074-6-mkchauras@gmail.com
