This macro was used to save static registers before calling
sys_sigsuspend() and sys_sigreturn().
For the sys_sigreturn() case, there's no point to save them
since they have been already saved by setup_sigcontext()
before calling the signal handler.
For the sys_sigsuspend() case, I don't see any reasons...

This patch makes 'struct sigframe' declaration avalaible for all signals
code. It allows signal32 to not have its own declaration.
This patch also removes all ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR tests in
structure declaration and hopefully make them more readable.

These functions are quite big and there are no points to make
them inlined. So this patch moves the functions implementation
in signal.c and make them available for others source files
which need them.

In entry.S resume_userspace ... jal do_notify_resume form a loop through
which the kernel will iterate as long as work is pending. If we
iterate through this loop more than once with no signal pending for at
least one but the last iteration we will take do the syscall restarting
multiple times resulting in a syscall return prior to the the syscall
instruction in userspace. This may happen when debugging a multithreaded
program.
Debugging and original fix by Maciej; extended to other ABIs by me.

Move function prototypes to asm/signal.h to detect trivial errors and
add some __user tags to get rid of sparse warnings. Generated code
should not be changed.

Since 2.6.13-rc1 setup_frame and its variants return int. But some bits
were missed in the conversion.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
