This fixes a bug where a clone syscall that is restarted due to a pending signal is restarted with garbage in the register %o0 that holds the clone flags. This keep the original %i0 of a syscall (as seen from the trap handler) in %l6 rather than %l5. This is done because for clone (and also qfork) %l5 is used as a temporary variable in the same register window. Before this, that temporary value would be the value that was then incorrectly used as the orig_i0 argument to do_notify_resume. In order to preserve %l6, the temporary usage of %l6 in ret_sys_call is changed to use %l5 instead and the setting %l6 to 0 or 1 was removed. The use of that 0 or 1 value in %l6 was removed in commit 28e6103665301ce60634e8a77f0b657c6cc099de. Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
