== Background ==
Support for large, "dynamic" fpstates was recently merged. This
included code to ensure that sigaltstacks are sufficiently sized for
these large states. A new lock was added to remove races between
enabling large features and setting up sigaltstacks.
== Problem ==
The new lock (sigaltstack_lock()) is acquired in the sigreturn path
before restoring the old sigaltstack. Unfortunately, contention on the
new lock causes a measurable signal handling performance regression [1].
However, the common case is that no *changes* are made to the
sigaltstack state at sigreturn.
== Solution ==
do_sigaltstack() acquires sigaltstack_lock() and is used for both
sys_sigaltstack() and restoring the sigaltstack in sys_sigreturn().
Check for changes to the sigaltstack before taking the lock. If no
changes were made, return before acquiring the lock.
This removes lock contention from the common-case sigreturn path.

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.
