Re: [PATCH 4/5] signal(ia64): add a signal stack overflow check

From: Shi Weihua
Date: Mon Feb 18 2008 - 21:27:10 EST


The similar check has been added to x86_32(i386) in commit
id 83bd01024b1fdfc41d9b758e5669e80fca72df66.
So we add this check to ia64 and improve it a liitle bit in that
we need to check for stack overflow only when the signal is on stack.

The previous patch has a comment mistake. Now I correct it.
