    [PATCH] fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes · d09042da
    Laurent MEYER authored
    
    
    - When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
      SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
      the kernel still try to install the alternate stack.  This behavior is
      the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix Specifications
      V3.
    
    - Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the flag
      SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on signal
      delivery.
    
    These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.
