Subject: [PATCH] flag parameters: paccept w/out set_restore_sigmask

Some platforms do not have support to restore the signal mask in the
return path from a syscall.  For those platforms syscalls like pselect
are not defined at all.  This is, I think, not a good choice for
paccept() since paccept() adds more value on top of accept() than just
the signal mask handling.

Therefore this patch defines a scaled down version of the sys_paccept
function for those platforms.  It returns -EINVAL in case the signal
mask is non-NULL but behaves the same otherwise.

Note that I explicitly included <linux/thread_info.h>.  I saw that it
is currently included but indirectly two levels down.  There is too
much risk in relying on this.  The header might change and then
suddenly the function definition would change without anyone
immediately noticing.
