No, I do not ;) I simply know nothing about other architectures.

Will do. Not sure I will be able to undestand it though. And btw I still
didn't look at the signal patches in your tree, I've just returned from
vacation today.

Neither me. But,

Confused. The hack above doesn't even try to cover this case (and it is
obviously wrong in ERESTARTSYS/NOINTR case), I only tried to illustrate
the idea.

And there is another case:

syscall interrupted, it returns ERESTARTSYS.

do_signal() sees no signal, restarts the syscall

!SA_RESTART comes before we return to user-mode

This doesn't really differ from sigsuspend/ERESTARTNOHAND we discussed
before.

Oleg.
