    signals/sigaltstack, x86/signals: Unify the x86 sigaltstack check with other architectures · 0b4521e8
    Stas Sergeev authored
    Currently x86's get_sigframe() checks for "current->sas_ss_size"
    to determine whether there is a need to switch to sigaltstack.
    The common practice used by all other arches is to check for
    sas_ss_flags(sp) == 0
    
    This patch makes the code consistent with other architectures.
    
    The slight complexity of the patch is added by the optimization on
    !sigstack check that was requested by Andy Lutomirski: sas_ss_flags(sp)==0
    already implies that we are not on a sigstack, so the code is shuffled
    to avoid the duplicate checking.
    
    This patch should have no user-visible impact.
