Revision f2fb4e4f647dabf1177d3ce164988e73482d76b1 authored by Stuart Menefy on 02 July 2008, 08:51:23 UTC, committed by Paul Mundt on 28 July 2008, 09:10:33 UTC
The current kernel behaviour is to reenable interrupts unconditionally
when taking a page fault. This patch changes this to only enable them
if interrupts were previously enabled.

It also fixes a problem seen with this fix in place: the kernel previously
flushed the vsyscall page when handling a signal, which is not only
unncessary, but caused a possible sleep with interrupts disabled.
