ret_from_sys_call in entry.S

Hello ,

Excuse me for putting a tentative question.

I have a obscure problem of pagefault at unlikely address
that is pinned down to ret_from_sys_call called from
nopage_tlbl -> DO_FAULT -> ret_from_sys_call(nowdays ret_from 
excep-
tion) during execing userspace programmes.

also due to sone resons out of my control my working source tree
appears to be hacked too much.

I have one entry.S in linux 2.4.17 having top line like

/* $Id: entry.S,v 1.19 1999/12/08 22:05:10 harald Exp

with ret_from_sys_call like

EXPORT(ret_from_sys_call)
         MEASURED_CLI

         /* Check to see if the current task
          * needs to be resscheduled
          */
         lw      t2, TASK_NEED_RESCHED($28)
         nop
         bnez    t2, reschedule
         nop

and one entry.S in some earlier version of entry.S with top line
   /* $Id: entry.S,v 1.1.1.2 2001/04/30 10:53:58 carstenl Exp $

here the ret_from_sys_call is just Blank like this

EXPORT(ret_from_sys_call)

EXPORT(ret_from_irq)
                 .type   ret_from_irq,@function
                 ......
                 ......

i am curently using this later one .
but i amn't able to follow the changes for ret_from_sys_call 
between these two versions.

Best Regards,
Atul
