The alternative stack checking in get_sigframe introduced by the Vector
support is not needed and has a problem. It is not needed as we have
already validate it at the beginning of the function if we are already
on an altstack. If not, the size of an altstack is always validated at
its allocation stage with sigaltstack_size_valid().
Besides, we must only regard the size of an altstack if the handler of a
signal is registered with SA_ONSTACK. So, blindly checking overflow of
an altstack if sas_ss_size not equals to zero will check against wrong
signal handlers if only a subset of signals are registered with
SA_ONSTACK.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
