[PATCH v3 0/5] nolibc signal handling support

[Ammar Faizi]

From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Willy,

On top of the series titled "nolibc auxiliary vector retrieval support".
The prerequisite patches of this series are in that series.

This is v2 of nolibc signal handling support. It adds signal handling
support to the nolibc subsystem:

1)  Initial implementation of nolibc sigaction(2) function.

    `sigaction()` needs an architecture-dependent "signal trampoline"
    function that invokes __rt_sigreturn syscall to resume the process
    after a signal gets handled.

    The "signal trampoline" function is called `__restore_rt` in this
    implementation. The naming `__restore_rt` is important for GDB. It
    also has to be given a special optimization attribute
    "omit-frame-pointer" to prevent the compiler from creating a stack
    frame that makes the `%rsp` value no longer points to the `struct
    rt_sigframe` that the kernel constructed.


2)  signal(2) function.

    signal() function is the simpler version of sigaction(). Unlike
    sigaction(), which fully controls the struct sigaction, the caller
    only cares about the sa_handler when calling the signal() function.
    signal() internally calls sigaction().


3)  More selftests.

    This series also adds selftests for:
      - fork(2)
      - sigaction(2)
      - signal(2)


Side note for __restore_rt:
This has been tested on x86-64 arch and `__restore_rt` generates the
correct code. The `__restore_rt` codegen correctness on other
architectures need to be evaluated as well. If it can't generate the
correct code, it has to be written in inline Assembly.

The current codegen for __restore_rt looks like this (gcc (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.3.0):

  00000000004038e3 <__restore_rt>:
    4038e3:  endbr64 
    4038e7:  mov    $0xf,%eax
    4038ec:  syscall

## Changes since v2:
  - Fix unintentionally squashed patch. The signal() selftest patch
    was squashed into the sigaction selftest patch.

## Changes since RFC v1:
  - Separate getpagesize() series.
  - Write __restore_rt function in C instead of in inline Assembly.
