From 697a9d65aa799940da1c9145944c6b9bd0f442c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Schmidt Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:51:36 +0800 Subject: [Blackfin] arch: a rather old performance improvement for the signal handling code This is a rather old performance improvement for the signal handling code, which was originally only committed on the 2007R1 branch as a workaround for what we suspected to be a hardware bug. There's no point in constructing a sigreturn stub on the stack and flushing caches; we can just make signal handlers return to a known location in the fixed code area.
