    MIPS: Move signal trampolines off of the stack. · d814c28c
    David Daney authored
    This is a follow on to the vdso patch.
    
    Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we
    can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and
    invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs.  We also get rid
    of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code.
    
    [Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing
    over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow.  The old signal
    frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane
    processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR.  So
    there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames
    on all MIPS systems.  This convinved me this series should be applied and
    pushed upstream as soon as possible.]
