We need to be more liberal about the alignment of the buffer given to
us by sigaltstack(). The user should not need to be mindful of all of
the alignment constraints we have for the stack frame.
This mirrors how we handle this situation in clone() as well.
Also, we align the stack even in non-SA_ONSTACK cases so that signals
due to bad stack alignment can be delivered properly. This makes such
errors easier to debug and recover from.
Finally, add the sanity check x86 has to make sure we won't overflow
the signal stack.
This fixes glibc testcases nptl/tst-cancel20.c and
nptl/tst-cancelx20.c

The change I put into copy_thread() just papered over the real
problem.
When we are looking to see if we should do a syscall restart, when
deliverying a signal, we should only interpret the syscall return
value as an error if the carry condition code(s) are set.
Otherwise it's a success return.
Also, sigreturn paths should do a pt_regs_clear_trap_type().
It turns out that doing a syscall restart when returning from a fork()
does and should happen, from time to time. Even if copy_thread()
returns success, copy_process() can still unwind and signal
-ERESTARTNOINTR in the parent.

If we use this from more than one place, it's better to
have helpers instead of twiddling magic constants all
over.
Add pt_regs_trap_type(), pt_regs_clear_trap_type(), and
pt_regs_is_syscall().
Use them in do_signal().

It's completely superfluous, CONFIG_COMPAT is sufficient.
What this used to be is an umbrella for enabling code shared
by all 32-bit compat binary support types. But with the
removal of SunOS and Solaris support, the only one left is
Linux 32-bit ELF.
Update defconfig.

Now that we indicate the "restart system call" in the
trap type field of pt_regs->magic, we don't need to
set the %l6 boolean in all of the trap return paths.
And we therefore don't need to pass it to do_notify_resume().

Now that we can check the trap type directly, we don't need the
funny restart_syscall indication from the trap return paths.

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,

This also includes by necessity _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support,
which actually resulted in a lot of cleanups.
The sparc signal handling code is quite a mess and I should
clean it up some day.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
