For some users of multi-lrc, e.g. split frame, it isn't safe to preempt
mid BB. To safely enable preemption at the BB boundary, a handshake
between parent and child is needed, syncing the set of BBs at the
beginning and end of each batch. This is implemented via custom
emit_bb_start & emit_fini_breadcrumb functions and enabled by default if
a context is configured by set parallel extension.

Lastly, this patch updates the process descriptor to the correct size as
the memory used in the handshake is directly after the process
descriptor.

History
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.
