Subject: Re: waitid() fails with EINVAL for SA_RESTART signals

Your test works fine on FC4 kernels (which are pretty current),
but it does hit the problem on my vanilla build.  strace output suggests
something is clobbering two registers:

waitid(P_PID, 1740, Sending signal to parent
0xbfc8b198, WEXITED|WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGUSR1 (User defined signal 1) @ 0 (0) ---
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
write(1, "Caught signal", 13Caught signal)           = 13
write(1, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
waitid(0x6cc /* P_??? */, 14, 0xbfc8b198, 0, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)


I will look into it further.


Thanks,
Roland
