Subject: [PATCH v3 21/71] ARC: [Review] Preparing to fix incorrect syscall restarts due to signals
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:20:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359024639-21915-10-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359024639-21915-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com>

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.
