ARC: [Review] Preparing to fix incorrect syscall restarts due to signals
To avoid multiple syscall restarts (multiple signals) or no restart at
all (sigreturn), we need just an extra bit of state "literally 1 bit" in
struct pt_regs. orig_r8 is the best place to do this, however given the
way it is encoded currently, we can't add anything simplistically.
Current orig_r8:
* syscalls -> 1 to NR_SYSCALLS
* Exceptions -> NR_SYSCALLS + 1
* Break-point-> NR_SYSCALLS + 2
In new scheme it is a bit-field
* lower short word contains the exact event type (and a new bit to represent
restart semantics : if syscall was already / can't be restarted)
* upper short word optionally containing the syscall num - needed by
likes of tracehooks etc
This patch only changes how orig_r8 is organised and nothing should
change behaviourily.
