In do_notify_resume, we manipulate thread_flags as a 32-bit unsigned

(e.g. in the entry assembly) we manipulate the flags as a 64-bit
quantity.

For consistency, and to avoid problems if we end up with more than 32
flags, let's make do_notify_resume take the flags as a 64-bit unsigned
long.
When we get to more than 32 flags, you may want to modify the _TIF_*
definitions as well to (UL(1) << TIF_*). In the meantime:
