Thomas Gleixner 1bdda24c4a signal: Add an optional check for altstack size
New x86 FPU features will be very large, requiring ~10k of stack in
signal handlers.  These new features require a new approach called
"dynamic features".

The kernel currently tries to ensure that altstacks are reasonably
sized. Right now, on x86, sys_sigaltstack() requires a size of >=2k.
However, that 2k is a constant. Simply raising that 2k requirement
to >10k for the new features would break existing apps which have a
compiled-in size of 2k.

Instead of universally enforcing a larger stack, prohibit a process from
using dynamic features without properly-sized altstacks. This must be
enforced in two places:

 * A dynamic feature can not be enabled without an large-enough altstack
   for each process thread.
 * Once a dynamic feature is enabled, any request to install a too-small
   altstack will be rejected

The dynamic feature enabling code must examine each thread in a
process to ensure that the altstacks are large enough. Add a new lock
(sigaltstack_lock()) to ensure that threads can not race and change
their altstack after being examined.

Add the infrastructure in form of a config option and provide empty
stubs for architectures which do not need dynamic altstack size checks.

This implementation will be fleshed out for x86 in a future patch called

  x86/arch_prctl: Add controls for dynamic XSTATE components
