ARM: 8687/1: signal: Fix unparseable iwmmxt_sigframe in uc_regspace[]
In kernels with CONFIG_IWMMXT=y running on non-iWMMXt hardware, the signal frame can be left partially uninitialised in such a way that userspace cannot parse uc_regspace[] safely. In particular, this means that the VFP registers cannot be located reliably in the signal frame when a multi_v7_defconfig kernel is run on the majority of platforms. The cause is that the uc_regspace[] is laid out statically based on the kernel config, but the decision of whether to save/restore the iWMMXt registers must be a runtime decision. To minimise breakage of software that may assume a fixed layout, this patch emits a dummy block of the same size as iwmmxt_sigframe, for non-iWMMXt threads. However, the magic and size of this block are now filled in to help parsers skip over it. A new DUMMY_MAGIC is defined for this purpose. It is probably legitimate (if non-portable) for userspace to manufacture its own sigframe for sigreturn, and there is no obvious reason why userspace should be required to insert a DUMMY_MAGIC block when running on non-iWMMXt hardware, when omitting it has worked just fine forever in other configurations. So in this case, sigreturn does not require this block to be present.
