[PATCH 1/4] [Cleanup] x86: signal: unify the sigaltstack check with other arches

Show all headers | View raw

Currently x86's get_sigframe() checks for "current->sas_ss_size"
to determine whether there is a need to switch to sigaltstack.
The common practice used by all other arches is to check for
sas_ss_flags(sp) == 0

This patch makes the code consistent with other arches.
The slight complexity of the patch is added by the optimization on
!sigstack check that was requested by Andy Lutomirski: sas_ss_flags(sp)==0
already implies that we are not on a sigstack, so the code is shuffled
to avoid the duplicate checking.

This patch have no any user-visible impact. It is purely a cleanup.
