Jeff Dike 4b84c69b5f [PATCH] uml: Move signal handlers to arch code
Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the
sigcontext and then calls a generic handler.  This replaces the
ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile.  On x86_64, recovering
%rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that
happens.  sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that
I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before
that.  Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust.

Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places
don't call set_handler any more.  They call sigaction or signal themselves.
