This looks good to me based on what other architectures do.

For example, arm64 does

rt_sigreturn
restore_sigframe
forget_syscall
regs->syscallno = NO_SYSCALL
which results in do_signal avoiding syscall restarting

And x86 does

rt_sigreturn
restore_sigcontext
regs->orig_ax = -1

where its handle_signal only restarts syscalls when regs->orig_ax != -1

So, for riscv, where in do_signal and handle_signal syscall restarting
is avoided when regs->cause != EXC_SYSCALL and it's common to set cause
to -1 to avoid it, then it makes sense to set regs->cause != EXEC_SYSCALL
in rt_sigreturn or in restore_sigcontext, which rt_sigreturn calls, as
well.

So the only question I have is whether or not the cause assignment
is better in restore_sigcontext() like other architectures? At least,
since rt_sigreturn is the only caller of restore_sigcontext, it can't
break anything putting it there atm...

Anyway,

BTW, I ran the testcase from 653d48b22166 with the asm modified for
riscv for a while over QEMU. It didn't reproduce, but I suppose that
doesn't mean much.

Thanks,
