To avoid multiple syscall restarts (multiple signals) or no restart at all (sigreturn), we need just an extra bit of state "literally 1 bit" in struct pt_regs. orig_r8 is the best place to do this, however given the way it is encoded currently, we can't add anything simplistically. Current orig_r8: * syscalls -> 1 to NR_SYSCALLS * Exceptions -> NR_SYSCALLS + 1 * Break-point-> NR_SYSCALLS + 2 In new scheme it is a bit-field * lower short word contains the exact event type (and a new bit to represent restart semantics : if syscall was already / can't be restarted) * upper short word optionally containing the syscall num - needed by likes of tracehooks etc This patch only changes how orig_r8 is organised and nothing should change behaviourily.
