From 5e219b3c671b34b2d79468fe89c44c0460c0f02b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 17:25:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/signals: Propagate RF EFLAGS bit through the signal restore call While porting Vince's perf overflow tests I found perf event breakpoint overflow does not work properly. I found the x86 RF EFLAG bit not being set when returning from debug exception after triggering signal handler. Which is exactly what you get when you set perf breakpoint overflow SIGIO handler. This patch and the next two patches fix the underlying bugs. This patch adds the RF EFLAGS bit to be restored on return from signal from the original register context before the signal was entered. This will prevent the RF flag to disappear when returning from exception due to the signal handler being executed.
