[PATCH] arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c linux-2.6.0-test10
From: John Blackwood
Date: Mon Nov 24 2003 - 15:53:03 EST
Hi Andi,
In linux-2.6.0-test10, I believe that there are several lines of code
in the x86_64 version of handle_signal() that will not ever be executed
and can most likely be removed.
I also believe that there are several lines that should be added to the
end of the do_signal() routine for handling the -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
case.
Thank you.
