the restorer function pointer provided in the kernel sigaction
structure is interpreted by the kernel as a raw code address, not a
function descriptor.
this commit moves the declarations of the __restore and __restore_rt
symbols to ksigaction.h so that arch versions of the file can override
them, and introduces a version for sh which declares them as objects
rather than functions.
an alternate solution would have been defining SA_RESTORER to 0 so
that the functions are not used, but this both requires executable
stack (since the sh kernel does not have a vdso page with permanent
restorer functions) and crashes on qemu user-level emulation.
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.
at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
