arm64: signal: Allow expansion of the signal frame
This patch defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create, populate, parse and decode this block as necessary. To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to ensure that: * no more than one extra_context is accepted; * the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed and aligned. The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured during signal delivery). This serves as a sanity-check that the signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra data into account.
