Subject: [PATCH 5.10 041/104] ARM: ensure the signal page contains defined contents

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 9c698bff66ab4914bb3d71da7dc6112519bde23e ]

Ensure that the signal page contains our poison instruction to increase
the protection against ROP attacks and also contains well defined
contents.
