    [POWERPC] Make syscall restart code more common · 22e38f29
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling
    syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single
    implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr
    and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.
    
    The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for
    the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use
    it's content.
    
    This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to
    "trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall
    restarting.
