Cover letter [PATCH v6 0/4] make sigaltstack() compatible with swapcontext()
The following patches make it possible to use swapcontext() in a sighandler that works on sigaltstack.
The approach is inspired by Andy Lutomirski's suggestion that sigaltstack should disarm itself after saving into uc_stack:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/594
I add the SS_AUTODISARM flag that does exactly that. On sighandler exit, the sigaltstack is restored from uc_stack. Another possible name could be SS_ONESHOT, but, since it gets always re-enabled, I choose SS_AUTODISARM.
Change since v5:
- Fix description of patch 4/4
Change since v4:
- Implement this Andy Lutomirski's suggestion:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/6/158
that allows the run-time probing of the existence of the flags added in the future.
