My understanding is that rt_sigreturn() restores complete user context
from the info stored on the stack.
Normally signal delivery will store that info on the stack first. But
in this case there is no signal delivery, so rt_sigreturn() reads
complete garbage from the stack and restores it into the context. I
assume this can setup any non-sense CS and maybe even pretend this is
not normal x86_64 mode (?).
