Can you resend it to me with a proper commit message? sparc64: not any error from do_sigaltstack() should fail rt_sigreturn() If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes, we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics we are using on other architectures.
