So what is the status of the below?
I haven't seen any NAKs or objections, yet it seems not
applied 3 weeks later. What should I do now?

The following patches make it possible to use swapcontext()
in a sighandler that works on sigaltstack.
The approach is inspired by Andy Lutomirski's suggestion that
sigaltstack should disarm itself after saving into uc_stack:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/594

I add the SS_AUTODISARM flag that does exactly that.
On sighandler exit, the sigaltstack is restored from uc_stack.
Another possible name could be SS_ONESHOT, but, since it gets
always re-enabled, I choose SS_AUTODISARM.

Change since v5:
- Fix description of patch 4/4

Change since v4:
- Implement this Andy Lutomirski's suggestion:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/6/158
that allows the run-time probing of the existence of the
flags added in the future.
