    signal, x86: add SIGSYS info and make it synchronous. · a0727e8c
    Will Drewry authored
    This change enables SIGSYS, defines _sigfields._sigsys, and adds
    x86 (compat) arch support.  _sigsys defines fields which allow
    a signal handler to receive the triggering system call number,
    the relevant AUDIT_ARCH_* value for that number, and the address
    of the callsite.
    
    SIGSYS is added to the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK because it is desirable for it
    to have setup_frame() called for it. The goal is to ensure that
    ucontext_t reflects the machine state from the time-of-syscall and not
    from another signal handler.
    
    The first consumer of SIGSYS would be seccomp filter.  In particular,
    a filter program could specify a new return value, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP,
    which would result in the system call being denied and the calling
    thread signaled.  This also means that implementing arch-specific
    support can be dependent upon HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.
