The failed sparc32 tests are really nothing new, but were discovered due
to more extensive testing. Observed behavior is a boot hang. sparc32 images
in v3.18.y (and v3.16.y) have probably been non-functional since commit
16c193364b4d ("sparc: Harden signal return frame checks."). The problem
was fixed upstream with commit 07b5ab3f71d3 ("sparc32: Fix inverted
invalid_frame_pointer checks on sigreturns"), and applying the same
commit to v3.18.y (and v3.16.y) fixes the problem.
