It looks like the RA setup by setup_frame and setup_rt_frame in arch/mips64/kernel/signal.c and signal32.c can be wrong. Same for arch/mips/kernel/signal.c signal32.c, 32-bit signal.c: sa_restorer is overriden signal.c: regs->regs[31] is pointed at the sigframe's code, even though there isn't code in the frame, and a comment says that sa_restorer is always used. Patch for 2.4 attached. Kip
