3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.mur...@arm.com>
commit 3f4aa45ceea5789a4aade536acc27f2e0d3da5e1 upstream.
We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
* looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
* but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
process has to use the same range again
* ...and again, what might lead to looping forever
So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.
