From 6a3713f001b3b53587e411ab0d3036ae9b0fb93b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gerst Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2015 08:58:23 -0400 Subject: x86/signal: Remove pax argument from restore_sigcontext The 'pax' argument is unnecesary. Instead, store the RAX value directly in regs. This pattern goes all the way back to 2.1.106pre1, when restore_sigcontext() was changed to return an error code instead of EAX directly: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/diff/arch/i386/kernel/signal.c?id=9a8f8b7ca3f319bd668298d447bdf32730e51174 In 2007 sigaltstack syscall support was added, where the return value of restore_sigcontext() was changed to carry the memory-copying failure code. But instead of putting 'ax' into regs->ax directly, it was carried in via a pointer and then returned, where the generic syscall return code copied it to regs->ax. So there was never any deeper reason for this suboptimal pattern, it was simply never noticed after being introduced.
