Subject: [patch 1/1] uml: remove SIGPROF from change_signals


From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[email protected]>, Jeff Dike <[email protected]>

Since local_irq_save() and local_irq_disable() should match (apart from saving
the flags), get/set_signals must match [un]block_signals, i.e. change_signals;
since get/set_signals don't enable/disable SIGPROF (and this behaviour is safe
as explained in the comment the patch adds, since the profiling code does not
interact with the kernel code), not even change_signals must toggle it.
