[PATCH 2/4] ARM: context tracking: instrument system calls

[Kevin Hilman]

When context tracking (TIF_NOHZ), force the syscall slow path by
adding _TIF_NOHZ to _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK.  Use the syscall trace
enter/exit paths to do the context tracking.  This corresponds to
commit bf5a3c13 (x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS.)

Also cover the special case in syscall_trace_exit() based on commit
2c5594df (rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave())
for x86.

Special thanks to Mats Liljegren for collaboration and additional
testing.
