commit e2fd1374c705abe4661df3fb6fadb3879c7c1846 upstream.

Most in-kernel users want registers spilled on the kernel stack and
don't require PS.EXCM to be set. That means that they don't need fixup
routine and could reuse regular window overflow mechanism for that,
which makes spill routine very simple.

commit 3251f1e27a5a17f0efd436cfd1e7b9896cfab0a0 upstream.

We need it saved because it contains a3 where we track which register
windows we still need to spill, and fixup handler may call C exception
handlers. Also fix comments.

<title>xtensa: don't use alternate signal stack on threads</title>

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current-&gt;sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

<id>244066f4be8ce2dc2d2d60f01bceeba55c71a783</id>
<content type='text'>
fast_syscall_spill_registers_fixup was not correctly updated by the
'keep a3 and excsave1 on entry to exception handlers' patch: it doesn't
preserve a3 that it gets on entry, breaking _spill_registers in case of
page fault on stack during register spilling, leading to unhandled
exception in kernel mode.

Preserve a3 by saving it in the original _spill_registers stack frame's
a3 during exception handling and restoring it afterwards.

Also fix comments and function bounds annotations.
