Linux kernel has provided some apis for arch signal's implementation.
For example:
restore_saved_sigmask()
set_current_blocked()
restore_altstack()
But in last version of csky signal.c didn't use them and some codes are
confusing, so reconstruct signal.c with reference to riscv's code.
Now csky signal.c implementation are very close to riscv and we can
get the following benefits:
- Clear code structure
- The signal code of riscv and csky can be reviewed together
- Promoting the unification of arch's signal implementation
Also modified the related code in entry.S

We could use regs->sr 16-24 bits to detect syscall: VEC_TRAP0 and
r11_sig is no necessary for current implementation.
In this patch, we implement the in_syscall and forget_syscall which are
inspired from arm & nds32, but csky pt_regs has no syscall_num element
and we just set zero to regs->sr's vector-bits-field instead.
For ret_from_fork, current task was forked from parent which is in syscall
progress and its regs->sr has been already setted with VEC_TRAP0. See:
arch/csky/kernel/process.c: copy_thread()

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Cleanup struct cpuinfo_csky and struct thread_struct, remove all esp0
related code. We could get pt_regs from sp and backtrace could use fp
in switch_stack.

This patch adds files related to task_switch, sigcontext, signal,
fpu context switch.
