GDB needs some intimate knowledge about it to recognize them as signal

Important are both the names (__restore_rt) and the exact instruction
sequence.

link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/sigaction.c;h=4e6d9cc32e1e18746726fa430d092de9a19ba6c6;hb=b4a5d26d8835d972995f0a0a2f805a8845bafa0b#l34

glibc does this:

   "    .type __" #name ",@function\n" \
   "__" #name ":\n"                    \
   "    movq $" #syscall ", %rax\n"    \
   "    syscall\n"                     \

where

   #name = "restore_rt"
   #syscall = __NR_rt_sigreturn

I think it should be called "__restore_rt" instead of "sys_rt_sigreturn"?
glibc also has unwind information, but we probably don't need to care
with that much
