Subject: ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 48be69a026b2c17350a5ef18a1959a919f60be7d upstream.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page.  This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks.  The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.
