The TOC pointer is constant within a single dso, but needs to be saved
and restored around cross-dso calls. The PLT stub saves it to the
caller's stack frame, and the linker adds code to the caller to restore
it.
With a local call, as within a single dso or with static linking, this
doesn't happen and the TOC pointer is always in r2. Therefore,
setjmp/longjmp need to save/restore the TOC pointer from/to different
locations depending on whether the call to setjmp was a local or non-local
call.
It is always safe for longjmp to restore to both r2 and the caller's stack.
If the call to setjmp was local, and only r2 matters and the stack location
will be ignored, but is required by the ABI to be reserved for the TOC
pointer. If the call was non-local, then only the stack location matters,
and whatever is restored into r2 will be clobbered anyway when the caller
reloads r2 from the stack.
A little extra care is required for sigsetjmp, because it uses setjmp
internally. After the second return from this setjmp call, r2 will contain
the caller's TOC pointer instead of libc's TOC pointer. We need to save
and restore the correct libc pointer before we can tail call to
__sigsetjmp_tail.
