Subject: Setup a signal frame.
Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2000 16:59:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A2FB3CB.3566F805@mips.com> (raw)
I have a question regarding the setup_frame function in
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c.
If the setup fails we send a SIGSEGV to the current process, but before
doing that we check if signr == SIGSEGV, and if so install the default
handler.
But isn't we sending a SIGSEGV signal, and therefore always should
install the default handler and not check if the original signal was
SIGSEGV ?
In kernel 2.2.12 we always used do_exit(SIGSEGV) if the setup failed,
why has this changed in the 2.4.0 kernel ?
