mainlining shenanigans
206b1c6012
It used to clear a3, so that signal handling on return to userland would've passed zero r0 to do_work_pending(), preventing the syscall restart logics from triggering. It had been pointless all along, since we only go there after successful do_execve(). Which does clear regs->r0 on alpha, preventing the syscall restart logics just fine, no extra help needed. Good thing, that, since back in 2012 do_work_pending() has lost the second argument, shifting the registers used to pass that thing from a3 to a2. Commit that had done that adjusted the entry.S code accordingly, but missed that one. As the result, we were left with useless insn in ret_from_kernel_thread and confusing comment to go with it. Get rid of both... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
