From fd7354108aa5497d7177b95a6b157eaf8597d621 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 14:54:02 -0700 Subject: sparc64: Fix accidental syscall restart on child return from clone/fork/vfork. This fixes a regression added by 238468b2ac76020c192a7402c92df5097916bf4a ("[SPARC64]: Use trap type stored in pt_regs to handle syscall restart.") Because we now encode the "returning from syscall" status in the pt_regs area, we have to be mindful to zap it out in the child of a fork. During a parallel kernel build I saw an accidental -EINTR return from vfork() in 'make' because of this bug. Signed-off-by: David S.
