Subject[PATCH v2 3/4] x86/signal: Prevent an alternate stack overflow before a signal delivery
Date
The kernel pushes data on the userspace stack when entering a signal. If
using a sigaltstack(), the kernel precisely knows the user stack size.

When the kernel knows that the user stack is too small, avoid the overflow
and do an immediate SIGSEGV instead.

This overflow is known to occur on systems with large XSAVE state. The
effort to increase the size typically used for altstacks reduces the
frequency of these overflows, but this approach is still useful for legacy
binaries.

Here the kernel expects a bit conservative stack size (for 64-bit apps).
Legacy binaries used a too-small sigaltstack would be already overflowed
before this change, if they run on modern hardware.
