[PATCH 0/4] make sigaltstack() compatible with swapcontext()

From: Stas Sergeev <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-31 16:16:51
Also in: lkml

The following patches add the self-test for
sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE) inside the signal handler,
and allow an app to temporarily disable and re-enable
the sigaltstack within a sighandler.
This is needed to make sigaltstack() compatible with
swapcontext(): before using swapcontext() inside
the sighandler, the sigaltstack should be disabled, or
the stack will be corrupted by the subsequent signals.
