From f2fb4e4f647dabf1177d3ce164988e73482d76b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stuart Menefy Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:51:23 +0900 Subject: sh: Conditionally re-enable IRQs in fault path. The current kernel behaviour is to reenable interrupts unconditionally when taking a page fault. This patch changes this to only enable them if interrupts were previously enabled. It also fixes a problem seen with this fix in place: the kernel previously flushed the vsyscall page when handling a signal, which is not only unncessary, but caused a possible sleep with interrupts disabled.
