I will split it into 2 patchset then.

The 'rt_sigaction()' itself doesn't seem to be an arch specific, but
the way it resumes the execution needs to call 'rt_sigreturn()' which
is arch specific. I took a look at the kernel source code, most
architectures read 'struct rt_sigframe' from the stack pointer.

On the x86-64 arch, the implementation is just like this:

__arch_restore_rt:
#
# ((%rsp - sizeof(long)) must point to 'struct rt_sigframe')
#
# 'struct rt_sigframe' is automatically constructed by
# the kernel when a signal is caught.
#
movl $0xf, %eax // __NR_rt_sigreturn == 0xf
syscall

I believe aarch64 and RISCV don't behave differently, but different
registers.

Not sure what PowerPC does here, it seems a bit different:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/1612c382ffbdf1f673caec76502b1c00e6d35363/arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c#L744

I haven't taken a look at other archs.

What do you think? Is it affordable for nolibc to implement all of
these?
