      ARC: [Review] Preparing to fix incorrect syscall restarts due to signals · 5c39c0ab
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      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.

      Includes following fixes courtesy review by Al-Viro
      
      * Tracer poke to Callee-regs were lost
      
        Before going off into do_signal( ) we save the user-mode callee regs
        (as they are not saved by default as part of pt_regs). This is to make
        sure that that a Tracer (if tracing related signal) is able to do likes
        of PEEKUSR(callee-reg).
      
        However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee
        regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer.
      
      * Issue related to multiple syscall restarts are addressed in next patch
