[PATCH 8/8] signal32: no need to save c0_status register in setup_sigcontext32()

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

 



From: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@xxxxxxxxx>

All the information in the MIPS c0_status register is priviledged.
Nothing that would constitute part of the thread context.

The one flag one could possibly argument about might be c0_status.fr
but none of the ABIs or tools or application software can make use
of it.

So for consistency with restore_sigcontext32(), which does not
restore c0_status register, this patch remove the saving part.
