x86/signal: Introduce helpers to get the maximum signal frame size
Signal frames do not have a fixed format and can vary in size when a number of things change: supported XSAVE features, 32 vs. 64-bit apps, etc. Add support for a runtime method for userspace to dynamically discover how large a signal stack needs to be. Introduce a new variable, max_frame_size, and helper functions for the calculation to be used in a new user interface. Set max_frame_size to a system-wide worst-case value, instead of storing multiple app-specific values. Signed-off-by:Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
