[PATCH v2 4/4] signal/x86: Move nosig handling at the end of exit_to_usermode_loop.

From: NIIBE Yutaka
Date: Wed Mar 21 2018 - 21:45:49 EST


Handling of restarting a system call for nosig should be done after
all possible calls of do_signal, to see if one of them actually
delivers signal or not.

Before this change, restarting a system call for nosig may be followed
by a call of handle_signal which would try to change the system call
returning -EINTR instead, but it is too late to do so.

In this patch, the function name of do_signal is changed, to avoid
breakage of building User Mode Linux.
