Is conditional calling of restore_altstack() correct for ARC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Al,

I spotted a possible anomaly with ARC sigaltstack() handling and was wondering if
you could confirm if it was wrong (I don't have a test case to prove one way or
the other).

We have a micro-optimization which elides calling restore_altstack() in sigreturn
path, based on a "magic" value, set at the time of sigaction (SA_SIGINFO). So
essentially we only restore ss_{sp,size,flags} if SA_SIGINFO was set.

Do you think this needs to be done unconditionally like other ports do ?

Thx,
-Vineet
