x86: Clear DF before calling signal handler
x86: Clear DF before calling signal handler
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.
This become a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that
the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function.
This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.
This is a backport of patch
e40cd10ccff3d9fbffd57b93780bee4b7b9bff51
("x86: clear DF before calling signal handler") that has been applied
in 2.6.25-rc.
