[09/99] futex: Handle spurious wake up

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d58e6576b0deec6f0b9ff8450fe282da18c50883 upstream.

The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and
futex_wait_requeue_pi.

The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake /
requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one
of the syscall restart error codes.

In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals
with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error
code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the
return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test
program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in
spurious wake up accelerator :)

Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and
handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.
