The pretty much unused RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags introduce complexity in rseq, and are subtly buggy [1]. Solving those issues requires introducing additional complexity in the rseq implementation for each supported architecture. Considering that it complexifies the rseq ABI, I am proposing that we deprecate those flags. [2] So far there appears to be consensus from maintainers of user-space projects impacted by this feature that its removal would be a welcome simplification. [3] The deprecation approach proposed here is to issue WARN_ON_ONCE() when encountering those flags and kill the offending process with sigsegv. This should allow us to quickly identify whether anyone yells at us for removing this.
