Subject2.4.17: sys_sigsuspend does not return value
Hi!

From 2.4.17:

asmlinkage int
sys_sigsuspend(int history0, int history1, old_sigset_t mask)
{
struct pt_regs * regs = (struct pt_regs *) &history0;
sigset_t saveset;

mask &= _BLOCKABLE;
spin_lock_irq(&current->sigmask_lock);
saveset = current->blocked;
siginitset(&current->blocked, mask);
recalc_sigpending(current);
spin_unlock_irq(&current->sigmask_lock);

regs->eax = -EINTR;
while (1) {
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule();
if (do_signal(regs, &saveset))
return -EINTR;
}
}

...Which looks to me like it returns something undefined when
do_signal returns 0. What prevents gcc from having "top secret" value
in eax, and from returning that value to userspace?
