I noticed m68knommu has in include/asm-m68knommu/unistd.h: #define __NR_restart_syscall 0 and in arch/m68knommu/kernel/signal.c: regs->d0 = __NR_restart_syscall; while m68k doesn't have __NR_restart_syscall and handles syscall restarts differently. Furthermore, both arch/m68knommu/kernel/syscalltable.S and arch/m68k/kernel/entry.S have for entry 0: .long sys_ni_syscall /* 0 - old "setup()" system call*/ i.e. on m68knommu system call restarting doesn't do anything.
