[PATCH] PPC64: fix stack alignment for signal handlers
The PPC64 ABI specifies that the stack should be kept aligned to 16 bytes. However, signal handlers on PPC64 are getting run with the stack misaligned (sp % 16 == 8). This patch fixes that by ensuring that the signal frame allocated is a multiple of 16 bytes. In addition to the PPC64 signal frame itself being of misaligned size, the explicit alignment of the starting stack pointer is also to 8 instead of 16. I've corrected this as well, so signal frames are aligned even if the interrupted registers contained a misaligned stack pointer. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> acked the original patch (which also did it for the 32-bit cases), and pointed out that the 32-bit cases all already did the alignment elsewhere and didn't need this. Patch edited down accordingly. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
