> The INTR_MSG_TRAP macro in intr-msg.h used to play little trick with
> the stack pointer: it would temporarily save the "real" stack pointer
> into ecx, while setting esp to point to just before the message buffer,
> and then invoke the mach_msg trap. This way, INTR_MSG_TRAP reused the
> on-stack arguments laid out for the containing call of
> _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg (), passing them to the mach_msg trap directly.
> 
> This, however, required special support in hurdsig.c and trampoline.c,
> since they now had to recognize when a thread is inside the piece of
> code where esp doesn't point to the real tip of the stack, and handle
> this situation specially.
> 
> Commit 1d20f33ff4fb634310f27493b7b87d0b20f4a0b0 has removed the actual
> temporary change of esp by actually re-pushing mach_msg arguments onto
> the stack, and popping them back at end. It did not, however, deal with
> the rest of "the ecx kludge" code in other files, resulting in potential
> crashes if a signal arrives in the middle of pushing arguments onto the
> stack.
> 
> Fix that by removing "the ecx kludge". Instead, when we want a thread
> to skip the RPC, but cannot make just make it jump to after the trap
> since it's not done adjusting the stack yet, set the SYSRETURN register
> to MACH_SEND_INTERRUPTED (as we do anyway), and rely on the thread
> itself for detecting this case and skipping the RPC.
> 
> This simplifies things somewhat and paves the way for a future x86_64
> port of this code.
