2009-01-21Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191. Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox crashes. The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and thus corrupts user-space register state. So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

2008-12-18x86: signal: move sigframe.h to arch/x86/include/asmHiroshi Shimamoto
Impact: cleanup, move header file Move arch/x86/kernel/sigframe.h to arch/x86/include/asm/sigframe.h. It will be used in arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.c. Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-18x86: signal: move ia32 func declarations into arch/x86/kernel/signal.cHiroshi Shimamoto
Impact: cleanup Move declarations of ia32_setup_rt_frame() and ia32_setup_frame() into arch/x86/kernel/signal.c. This is for future use of sigframe.h. Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-16x86: signal: use signal_fault() in sys_sigreturn()Hiroshi Shimamoto
Impact: cleanup Call signal_fault() in error route of sys_sigreturn(). Change log level to KERN_EMERG if current is init. Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
