Commit 0138ba57 ("powerpc/64/signal: Balance return predictor stack in signal trampoline") changed __kernel_sigtramp_rt64() VDSO and trampoline code, and introduced a regression in the way glibc's backtrace()[1] detects the signal-handler stack frame. Apart from the practical implications, __kernel_sigtramp_rt64() was a VDSO function with the semantics that it is a function you can call from userspace to end a signal handling. Now this semantics are no longer valid. I believe the aforementioned change affects all releases since 5.9. This patch tries to fix both the semantics and practical aspect of __kernel_sigtramp_rt64() returning it to the previous code, whilst keeping the intended behaviour of 0138ba57 by adding a new symbol to serve as the jump target from the kernel to the trampoline. Now the trampoline has two parts, a new entry point and the old return point.
