3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro <v...@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
commit fae2ae2a900a5c7bb385fe4075f343e7e2d5daa2 upstream.
If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics
we are using on other architectures.
