[PATCH v3 1/4] x86/signal: Introduce helpers to get the maximum signal frame size

Chang S. Bae
2020-12-23T01:58:33Z

Signal frames do not have a fixed format and can vary in size when a number
of things change: support XSAVE features, 32 vs. 64-bit apps. Add the code
to support a runtime method for userspace to dynamically discover how large
a signal stack needs to be.

Introduce a new variable, max_frame_size, and helper functions for the
calculation to be used in a new user interface. Set max_frame_size to a
system-wide worst-case value, instead of storing multiple app-specific
values.

Changes from v2:
* Renamed the fpstate size helper with cleanup (Borislav Petkov)
* Moved the sigframe struct size defines to where used (Borislav Petkov)
* Removed unneeded sentence in the changelog (Borislav Petkov)

Change from v1:
* Took stack alignment into account for sigframe size (Dave Martin)
