I'm trying to fix it without reverting. If that doesn't work, then we revert. Yesterday, I thought I had a reasonably clean fix, but it turned out that it only solved half of the problem. If we revert, I think I need to check what will break due to the revert. I need to check at least Wine, and we'll have to do something about all the selftests that will start failing. I also need to check CRIU, and IIRC CRIU has started using the new sigcontext SS in new versions. And, damnit, those selftests are *useful*. They've smoked out all kinds of problems. That's part of the reason I'd prefer not to revert if there's a better option. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
