Add TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling in the generic entry code, which if set, will return true if signal_pending() is used in a wait loop. That causes an exit of the loop so that notify_signal tracehooks can be run. If the wait loop is currently inside a system call, the system call is restarted once task_work has been processed. In preparation for only having arch_do_signal() handle syscall restarts if _TIF_SIGPENDING isn't set, rename it to arch_do_signal_or_restart(). Pass in a boolean that tells the architecture specific signal handler if it should attempt to get a signal, or just process a potential syscall restart. For !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY archs, add the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling to get_signal(). This is done to minimize the needed architecture changes to support this feature.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
