== 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.
