[PATCH 3/4] x86: signal: unify the sigaltstack check with other arches

From: Stas Sergeev
Date: Sun Jan 31 2016 - 11:24:19 EST



Currently x86's get_sigframe() checks for "current->sas_ss_size"
to determine whether there is a need to switch to sigaltstack.
The common practice used by all other arches is to check for
sas_ss_flags(sp) == 0

This patch makes the code consistent with other arches and also
allows for the further sigaltstack improvements within this patch serie.
