Dave Martin 20987de3c2 arm64: signal: split frame link record from sigcontext structure
In order to be able to increase the amount of the data currently
written to the __reserved[] array in the signal frame, it is
necessary to overwrite the locations currently occupied by the
{fp,lr} frame link record pushed at the top of the signal stack.

In order for this to work, this patch detaches the frame link
record from struct rt_sigframe and places it separately at the top
of the signal stack.  This will allow subsequent patches to insert
data between it and __reserved[].

This change relies on the non-ABI status of the placement of the
frame record with respect to struct sigframe: this status is
undocumented, but the placement is not declared or described in the
user headers, and known unwinder implementations (libgcc,
libunwind, gdb) appear not to rely on it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
