I have been looking at the equivalent code on powerpc. This looks to
me like we aren't calling do_signal on the way back out of the system
call to userspace on x86 when the _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK thread_info
flag is set. I had a look at the code in arch/i386/kernel and I can't
see why we wouldn't be getting to do_signal, but x86 assembly is not
my strong point.
The fact that userspace is seeing the -ERESTARTNOHAND return value
from the rt_sigsuspend strongly suggests that we aren't actually
calling do_signal, though.
