x86/entry/vdso32: Work around libgcc unwinder bug
The unwinder code in libgcc has a long standing bug which causes it to
fail to pick up the signal frame CFI flag. This is a generic bug
across all platforms.
It affects the __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn vdso entry
points on i386. The x86-64 kernel doesn't provide a sigreturn stub,
and so there is no kernel-provided code that is affected on x86-64.
libgcc does have a legacy fallback path which happens to work as long
as the bytes immediately before each of the sigreturn functions fall
outside any function. This patch adds a nop before the ALIGN to each
of the sigreturn stubs to ensure that this is, indeed, the case.
The rest of the patch is just a comment which documents the invariants
that need to be maintained for this legacy path to work correctly.
This is a manifest bug: in the current vdso, __kernel_vsyscall is a
multiple of 16 bytes long and thus __kernel_sigreturn does not have
any padding in front of it.
