There's a forum thread at
https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&_forum_action=MessageReply&message_id=24741
which has a testcase involving signal handling that crashes quite readily.
Inspecting the code I believe what happens is that signal handling can become
confused when it is invoked on return from an interrupt, if the contents of
P0 and R0 at the time of the interrupt happen to be such that P0 is larger
than zero (indicating to the signal code that we're in a syscall), and R0
happens to have a value of something like -EINTR or -ERESTARTSYS.
Fixed by setting orig_p0 to -1 if we're returning from an interrupt. The
testcase now seems to run without problems.
