commit 1c33bb0507 upstream.
Historically, signal.h defines MINSIGSTKSZ (2KB) and SIGSTKSZ (8KB), for
use by all architectures with sigaltstack(2). Over time, the hardware state
size grew, but these constants did not evolve. Today, literal use of these
constants on several architectures may result in signal stack overflow, and
thus user data corruption.
A few years ago, the ARM team addressed this issue by establishing
getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ). This enables the kernel to supply a value
at runtime that is an appropriate replacement on current and future
hardware.
Add getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ) support to x86, analogous to the support
added for ARM in
commit 94b07c1f8c ("arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv").
Also, include a documentation to describe x86-specific auxiliary vectors.
