This however is incorrect. This breaks e.g. for user mode helper handling, where the kernel creates a kernel thread and then execve's a user space program. Control register contents related to transactional execution won't be updated on execve. If the previous task ran with transactional execution disabled then the new task will also run with transactional execution disabled, which is incorrect. Therefore call update_per_regs() unconditionally within switch_to(). - on startup the transactional execution facility is not enabled for the idle thread. This is not really a bug, but an inconsistency to other facilities. Therefore enable the facility if it is available. - on fork the new thread's per_flags field is not cleared. This means that a child process inherits the PER_FLAG_NO_TE flag. This flag can be set with a ptrace request to disable transactional execution for the current process. It should not be inherited by new child processes in order to be consistent with the handling of all other PER related debugging options. Therefore clear the per_flags field in copy_thread_tls().
