My strengths are in the entry_64.S code, not the signal code, so I fixed it the best way that I felt. This does not imply my fix is the best. If we can solve this in a clean way using the existing signal infrastructure, I'm all for that. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable-rt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
