[PATCH 1/6] x86: tracehook_signal_handler

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Thu Jul 17 2008 - 03:47:52 EST


This makes the x86 signal handling code use tracehook_signal_handler() in
place of calling into ptrace guts. The call is moved after the sa_mask
processing, but there is no other change. This cleanup doesn't matter to
existing debuggers, but is the sensible thing: have all facets of the
handler setup complete before the debugger inspects the task again.
