Subject: [PATCH v6 05/31] ARM: process: Remove local restart
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2025 00:35:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250420-arm-generic-entry-v6-5-95f1fcdfeeb2@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250420-arm-generic-entry-v6-0-95f1fcdfeeb2@linaro.org>

The ARM kernel contains a quirk to handle syscall restarts
inside the kernel without exiting to userspace. The generic
entry cannot handle this.

Rename do_signal() to arch_do_signal_or_restart() to fit
with the upcoming generic entry conversion.

This is essentially a revert of commit 81783786d5cf
"ARM: 7473/1: deal with handlerless restarts without leaving the kernel"
from 2012.

After the conversion to generic entry later in this series,
the local restart will be reimplemented again, but in C.
