Hi all, This is a cleanup series to consolidate a common signal setup code. Right now quite a bit of duplicated code is there in an unorganized way. Here is a rework of that signal-related code: (1) Consolidate the signal handler helpers They have been exactly copied everywhere. Place them in the shared code. Then, remove those duplicates. (2) Simplify altstack code Most cases require just a usable alternate stack. So, there is a chance to simplify them all. Abstract the entire setup code to one setup call. Then, it can reduce the amount of code there. For testing sigaltstack() specifically, another helper is provided that excludes the syscall part. The series also includes some preparatory changes for them: * Along with the rework, some existing problem was uncovered. A couple of tests look to free the altstack memory even before the signal delivery. Adjust the memory cleanup to resolve this issue. * Also resolve a define conflict separately before including the refactored header. Then, there is another selftest fix that I posted: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230330233520.21937-1-chang.seok.bae@xxxxxxxxx/ which has a conflict with this. As the fix should go first, this cleanup series is based on it. FWIW, at the moment, the new x86 selftest cases -- lam and test_shadow_stack do not conflict with this. Here is the repository where this series can be found: git://github.com/intel/amx-linux.git selftest-signal Thanks, Chang Chang S.
