signal, x86: Delay calling signals in atomic on RT enabled kernels
On x86_64 we must disable preemption before we enable interrupts for stack faults, int3 and debugging, because the current task is using a per CPU debug stack defined by the IST. If we schedule out, another task can come in and use the same stack and cause the stack to be corrupted and crash the kernel on return. When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled, spinlock_t locks become sleeping, and one of these is the spin lock used in signal handling. Some of the debug code (int3) causes do_trap() to send a signal. This function calls a spinlock_t lock that has been converted to a sleeping lock. If this happens, the above issues with the corrupted stack is possible. Instead of calling the signal right away, for PREEMPT_RT and x86, the signal information is stored on the stacks task_struct and TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is set. Then on exit of the trap, the signal resume code will send the signal when preemption is enabled.
