From: David S. Miller Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 03:40:46 +0000 (-0700) Subject: sparc64: Do not clobber %g7 in setcontext() trap. X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc2~74^2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a4949c4414af2eb91414bcd8e2a8ac3706f7dde;p=linux-2.6 sparc64: Do not clobber %g7 in setcontext() trap. That's the userland thread register, so we should never try to change it like this. Based upon glibc bug nptl/6577 and suggestions by Jakub Jelinek. Signed-off-by: David S.
