2012-11-23arm64: signal: return struct rt_sigframe from get_sigframeWill Deacon
We only have one type of frame (rt_sigframe) for arm64, so just return that type directly and dispense with the framesize argument, which is presumably a hangover from code copied from arch/arm/.

2012-11-23arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stackWill Deacon
To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

2012-09-17arm64: Signal handling supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for signal handling. The sigreturn is done via VDSO, introduced by a previous patch. The SA_RESTORER is still defined as it is required for 32-bit (compat) support but it is not to be used for 64-bit applications.
