Apologies, I now realise that this patch is broken :(

The breakage is impossible to trigger at present, and the patches
currently applied introduce no LTP regressions -- so I think we have
the option to keep the patch and apply a fix on top later (explanation
below).

Otherwise, can you drop or revert it please?

This breakage also renders questionable the first patch in the series
("arm64: signal: split frame link record from sigcontext structure").
The arguments for why that patch is acceptable are unchanged, but there
is no need for it any more and so it may be better to drop it (or at
least discuss it again).

Rebasing that first patch out won't be trivial, so if dropping/reverting
that I recommend dropping/reverting the whole series.


Detail:

The patch currently assumes that we can splat data across the and of
struct sigcontext, since __reserved[] is the last thing in there.

Unfortunately, struct sigcontext is not the last thing in the
signal frame: it is embedded in a struct ucontext, where it is
followed by uc_sigmask (ironically to allow uc_sigmask to expand).

struct ucontext {
	unsigned long	  uc_flags;
	struct ucontext  *uc_link;
	stack_t		  uc_stack;
	struct sigcontext uc_mcontext;
	sigset_t	  uc_sigmask;	/* mask last for extensibility */
};

Thus allocating more than sizeof(__reserved) bytes via sigframe_alloc()
will cause us to overwrite uc_sigmask (or uc_sigmask will overwrite
our data).

The total size of allocations done by the kernel is always smaller than
this today, so the bug should never be observed in practice.

I will need to resurrect the older version of the patch that skips to
the end of struct rt_sigframe when an overflowing allocation is made --
which also means that moving the {fp,lr} frame record is no longer
necessary and can be backed out too.  Skipping to the end unfortunately
wastes some stack space, but I can't see a way to avoid that now.
