Linus Torvalds 1423e2660c Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:
- Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes. The kernel unconditionally
     writes the FPU state to the alternate stack without checking whether
     the stack is large enough to accomodate it.
 
     Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
     small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space data.
 
   - MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never been
     updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on the
     signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the field
     when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose the
     minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on the
     available and enabled CPU features.
 
     ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
     Add it to x86 as well
 
   - A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of XSTATE
     related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies, duplicated code
     and other issues.
 
     The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more robust
     and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE related
     features in sane ways.
