Instead of adding this to every architectures signal magic, we can
handle TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL in the core code:

static void handle_singal_work(ti_work, regs)
{
	if (ti_work & _TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL)
        	tracehook_notify_signal();

        arch_do_signal(ti_work, regs);
}

      loop {
      		if (ti_work & (SIGPENDING | NOTIFY_SIGNAL))
                	handle_signal_work(ti_work, regs);
      }

Hmm?

Thanks,
