[PATCH v1 2/9] powerpc/dexcr: Track the DEXCR per-process

Wed Apr 17 21:23:18 AEST 2024
Add capability to make the DEXCR act as a per-process SPR.
We do not yet have an interface for changing the values per task. We
also expect the kernel to use a single DEXCR value across all tasks
while in privileged state, so there is no need to synchronize after
changing it (the userspace aspects will synchronize upon returning to
userspace).
