[PATCH 2/4] UML - Move signal handlers to arch code

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Wed Aug 02 2006 - 15:57:12 EST


Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers
the sigcontext and then calls a generic handler. This replaces the
ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile. On x86_64,
recovering %rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first
thing that happens. sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is
no guarantee that I can see that instructions won't be reordered such
that %rdx is used before that. Having the arch provide the handler
seems much more robust.

Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these
places don't call set_handler any more. They call sigaction or signal
themselves.
