Hi,

The patch below is an important fix, as it is necessary to run rustc on riscv. It has been merged as commit 14a270bfab7ab1c4b605c01eeca5557447ad5a2b. I have seen that other commits from the same pull request have already been queued for 6.5, but not this one. Would it be possible to queue it for stable 6.5?

Thanks Aurelien

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.
