This is a follow on to the vdso patch.
Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we
can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and
invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs. We also get rid
of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code.
[Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing
over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow. The old signal
frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane
processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So
there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames
on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and
pushed upstream as soon as possible.]

The save_fp_context()/restore_fp_context() might sleep on accessing
user stack and therefore might lose FPU ownership in middle of them.
If these function failed due to "in_atomic" test in do_page_fault,
touch the sigcontext area in non-atomic context and retry these
save/restore operation.
This is a replacement of a (broken) fix which was titled "Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially".

Commit 6d6671066a is incomplete and misses
non-r4k CPUs. This patch reverts the commit and fixes in other way.
o Do FCSR checking in caller of restore_fp_context.
o Send SIGFPE if the signal handler set any FPU exception bits.

access_ok in compat-signal.h is wrong (checking destination instead of
source) and redundant (already checked before calling this function).
Also sf_mask in struct sigframe32 should be compat_sigset_t type.

This macro was used to save static registers before calling
sys_sigsuspend() and sys_sigreturn().
For the sys_sigreturn() case, there's no point to save them
since they have been already saved by setup_sigcontext()
before calling the signal handler.
For the sys_sigsuspend() case, I don't see any reasons...

All the information in the MIPS c0_status register is priviledged.
Nothing that would constitute part of the thread context.
The one flag one could possibly argument about might be c0_status.fr
but none of the ABIs or tools or application software can make use
of it.
So for consistency with restore_sigcontext32(), which does not
restore c0_status register, this patch remove the saving part.

It should use the one define in signal.c instead.

This patch makes 'struct sigframe' declaration avalaible for all signals
code. It allows signal32 to not have its own declaration.
This patch also removes all ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR tests in
structure declaration and hopefully make them more readable.

In entry.S resume_userspace ... jal do_notify_resume form a loop through
which the kernel will iterate as long as work is pending. If we
iterate through this loop more than once with no signal pending for at
least one but the last iteration we will take do the syscall restarting
multiple times resulting in a syscall return prior to the the syscall
instruction in userspace. This may happen when debugging a multithreaded
program.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.
