Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:35:17 -0800 (PST) From: agent59624285 <agent59624285@...mcorptastic.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Signals mechanism question Hello, I read lately about the signals mechanism, and I have a couple of question that I couldn't find the answer to them. it would be great if someone would answer. 1. when handling a signal before changing to user Mode, the kernel copies data to the user stack. what is the data that he saves in setup_frame()? 2. what signals are blocked while in the signal handler? could this mask be changed? 3. when does a system call could be reentrant and when it cannot, when disturbed by a signal? thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Signals-mechanism-question-tp21534062p21534062.html Sent from the linux-kernel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
