The 32-bit sigreturn trampoline in the compat sigpage matches the binary representation of the arch/arm/ sigpage exactly. This is important for debuggers (e.g. GDB) and unwinders (e.g. libunwind) since they rely on matching the instruction sequence in order to identify that they are unwinding through a signal. The same cannot be said for the sigreturn trampoline in the compat vDSO, which defeats the unwinder heuristics and instead attempts to use unwind directives for the unwinding. This is in contrast to arch/arm/, which never uses the vDSO for sigreturn. Ensure compatibility with arch/arm/ and existing unwinders by always using the sigpage for the sigreturn trampoline, regardless of the presence of the compat vDSO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
