Once again, I am fine with this patch, just a minor comment...

I suggested to change arch_do_signal() because somehow I like it this way ;)

And because we can easily pass the "ti_work" mask to arch_do_signal() and
avoid test_thread_flag/task_sigpending.

Hmm. I just noticed that only x86 uses arch_do_signal(), so perhaps you can
add this change to this patch right now? Up to you.


On the other hand, we could add

	if (test_thread_flag(TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL))
		tracehook_notify_signal();

	if (!task_sigpending(current))
		return 0;

at the start of get_signal() instead. Somehow I don't really like this, but
this way we do need less changes in arch-dependant code. Again, up to you.

Oleg.
