Subject: [patch 2/3] IA64 signal: remove redundant code in setup_sigcontext()
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:58:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200712132358.lBDNwQ7r025176@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Shi Weihua <shiwh@cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch removes some redundant code in the function setup_sigcontext().

The registers ar.ccv,b7,r14,ar.csd,ar.ssd,r2-r3 and r16-r31 are not
restored in restore_sigcontext() when (flags & IA64_SC_FLAG_IN_SYSCALL) is
true.  So we don't need to zero those variables in setup_sigcontext().
