Subject: [PATCH 02/23] x86/signal: Implement sigaltstack size validation

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became already too
small with AVX512 support.

Add a mechanism to enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against
the real size of the FPU frame.

The strict check can be enabled via a config option and can also be
controlled via the kernel command line option 'strict_sas_size' independent
of the config switch.

Enabling it might break existing applications which allocate a too small
sigaltstack but 'work' because they never get a signal delivered. Though it
can be handy to filter out binaries which are not yet aware of
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.

Also the upcoming support for dynamically enabled FPU features requires a
strict sanity check to ensure that:

   - Enabling of a dynamic feature, which changes the sigframe size fits
     into an enabled sigaltstack

   - Installing a too small sigaltstack after a dynamic feature has been
     added is not possible.

Implement the base check which is controlled by config and command line
options.
