NAME
       rt_sigreturn  -	Return	from  a signal handler and clean up the stack
       frame

SYNOPSIS
       int sys_rt_sigreturn (unsigned long __unused); xSeries

       int sys_rt_sigreturn (int r3, int r4, int r5, int r6, int r7, int r8,
			     struct pt_regs *regs); pSeries

       long sys_rt_sigreturn (struct pt_regs regs); Opteron, zSeries


DESCRIPTION
       rt_sigreturn  returns  from  a  signal handler and cleans up the stack
       frame. The int r# values for pSeries are place holders and do not car-
       ry  any	value  in  the code itself. In some architectures, the struct
       pt_regs regs is used to indicate interrupts.


RETURN VALUE
       rt_sigreturn returns old context.


ERRORS
       None.
