sys_[rt_]sigreturn bits in entry.S?

Hi,

Can anyone explain why sigreturn/rt_sigreturn are treated specially in
entry.S (and why the strange constants)?

And in particular, is there a good reason why they bypass the ptrace
system call tracing?  It's being a bit of a pain for user-mode Linux on
ppc.

Cheers,

Chris
