Hi Ingo,

I made a patch to fix this issue.
This patch is against tip/x86/signal.

I've tried tip/x86/signal and seen bad frame with firefox.
After applied this patch, it looks fine.

Thanks,
Hiroshi

Subject: [PATCH] x86: signal: fix get_sigframe() on 64-bit

Impact: fix bad frame in rt_sigreturn on 64-bit

After commit 97286a2b64725aac2d584ddd1f94871f9991d5a1 some applications fail
to return from signal handler.

[ 145.150133] firefox[3250] bad frame in rt_sigreturn frame:00007f902b44eb28 ip:352e80b307 sp:7f902b44ef70 orax:ffffffffffffffff in libpthread-2.9.so[352e800000+17000]
[ 665.519017] firefox[5420] bad frame in rt_sigreturn frame:00007faa8deaeb28 ip:352e80b307 sp:7faa8deaef70 orax:ffffffffffffffff in libpthread-2.9.so[352e800000+17000]

The root cause is forgetting to keep 64 byte aligned value of fpstate for next
stack pointer calculation.
