2009-10-25ARM: Fix signal restart issues with NX and OABI compatRussell King
The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI compatibility is enabled. Unfortunately, with an EABI NX executable, this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack, which segfaults the application. Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the signal return code, and directing the application to that code.

2006-03-27[ARM] nommu: fixups for the exception vectorsHyok S. Choi
The high page vector (0xFFFF0000) does not supported in nommu mode. This patch allows the vectors to be 0x00000000 or the begining of DRAM in nommu mode. Signed-off-by: Hyok S. Choi <hyok.choi@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-01-18[ARM] 3270/1: ARM EABI: fix sigreturn and rt_sigreturnNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre The signal return path consists of user code provided by the kernel. Since a syscall is used, it has to be updated to work with EABI. Noticed by Daniel Jacobowitz. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-06-22[PATCH] ARM: Move signal return code into vector pageRussell King
Move the signal return code into the vector page instead of placing it on the user mode stack, which will allow us to avoid flushing the instruction cache on signals, as well as eventually allowing non-exec stack. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
