Right, I think we can let the compiler generate the correct info in
such cases.  Below there is an updated patch that removes the arch
specific implementation.  I need to adjust the syscall_cancel from
02/19 patch to uses a '%' mark for function symbol declaration
(the version I sent uses a '@' which ARM gas interprets as a inline
comment).

This patch adds the ARM modifications required for the BZ#12683.
It basically adds the required ucontext_get_pc function and adjust
the generic syscall_cancel build.

For ARM we need to build syscall_cancel in ARM mode (-marm) to avoid
INTERNAL_SYSCALL to issue the syscall through the helper gate
__libc_do_syscall (which invalidates the mark checks on SIGCANCEL
handler).

Checked on arm-linux-gnueabihf.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/Makefile (CFLAGS-syscall_cancel.c): New
	rule.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/sigcontextinfo.h (ucontext_get_pc):
	New function.
