Hi Arnd,
In Linus' tree with above merged, selecting CONFIG_GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK
is causing build issues for ARC port (and possibly others as well) which
use asm-generic/syscalls.h due to a different prototype for
sys_sigaltstack coming in from linux/syscalls.h
While I can band-aid ARC port by #define sys_sigaltstack before
including asm-generic, it might be better if we conditional-ize one of
the prototypes. Following works for me.
diff --git a/include/asm-generic/syscalls.h b/include/asm-generic/syscalls.h
