[patch v2 3/5, nios2] fix register save offset for signal handler trampolines


It was requested that I split the patch previously posted here:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00907.html

into two parts. This is the first part. I also expanded the comments to indicate how the register save offset magic number was calculated.

OK to commit now?

+   FUNC is the address of the instruction TRAMP[0] in memory.
+
+   This ABI is not documented.  It corresponds to rt_setup_ucontext in
+   the kernel arch/nios2/kernel/signal.c file.
+
+   The key points are:
+   - The kernel creates a trampoline at the hard-wired address 0x1044.
+   - The stack pointer points to an object of type struct rt_sigframe.
+     The definition of this structure is not exported from the kernel.
+     The register save area is located at offset 152 bytes (as determined
+     by inspection of the stack contents in the debugger), and the
+     registers are saved as r1-r23, ra, fp, gp, ea, sp.
+
+   This interface was implemented with kernel version 3.19 (the first
+   official mainline kernel).  Older unofficial kernel versions used
+   incompatible conventions; we do not support those here.  */
