Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64/signal: Fix regression in __kernel_sigtramp_rt64()
semantics
Commit 0138ba5783ae ("powerpc/64/signal: Balance return predictor
stack in signal trampoline") changed __kernel_sigtramp_rt64() VDSO and
trampoline code, and introduced a regression in the way glibc's
backtrace()[1] detects the signal-handler stack frame. Apart from the
practical implications, __kernel_sigtramp_rt64() was a VDSO function
with the semantics that it is a function you can call from userspace
to end a signal handling. Now this semantics are no longer valid.
I believe the aforementioned change affects all releases since 5.9.
This patch tries to fix both the semantics and practical aspect of
__kernel_sigtramp_rt64() returning it to the previous code, whilst
keeping the intended behaviour of 0138ba5783ae by adding a new symbol
to serve as the jump target from the kernel to the trampoline. Now the
trampoline has two parts, a new entry point and the old return point.
