sys_sigreturn  [arch/i386/kernel/signal.c]


This system call is used by the kernel to implement signal handlers. It should never be called directly.

When the Linux kernel creates the stack frame for a signal handler, a call to sys_sigreturn is inserted into the stack frame so that the signal handler will call sys_sigreturn upon return. This inserted call to sys_sigreturn cleans up the stack so that the process can restart from where it was interrupted by the signal.

Arguments

eax 119
ebx *to be documented*
