[Bug libc/23174] [hppa] SIGSEGV on return from signal handler


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23174

--- Comment #3 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> ---
If executable stacks are needed for signal returns in current kernels, the 
hppa GCC changes may need to be reverted, and the elf/check-execstack test 
XFAILed on hppa with a comment explaining the issue like the one in 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/Makefile, until the hppa kernel has been 
changed to use a VDSO for signal returns and older kernel versions without 
that support are no longer supported by glibc.  (I think the lack of 
SA_RESTORER support in the hppa kernel means it's not possible for glibc 
to provide a signal return trampoline and so avoid the issue that way.)
