[PATCH 1/5] signal x86: Propage RF EFLAGS bit throught the signal restore call

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Fri Mar 01 2013 - 13:13:35 EST


Adding RF EFLAGS bit to be restored on return from signal from
the original register context before the signal was entered.

This will prevent the RF flag to disappear when returning
from exception due to the signal handler being executed.
