+/* $Id$
+ * hipe_x86_signal.c
+ *
+ * Erlang code compiled to x86 native code uses the x86 %esp as its
+ * stack pointer. This improves performance in several ways:
+ * - It permits the use of the x86 call and ret instructions, which
+ * reduces code volume and improves branch prediction.
+ * - It avoids stealing a gp register to act as a stack pointer.
+ *
+ * Unix signal handlers are by default delivered onto the current
+ * stack, i.e. %esp. This is a problem since our native-code stacks
+ * are small and may not have room for the Unix signal handler.
+ *
+ * There is a way to redirect signal handlers to an "alternate" signal
+ * stack by using the SA_ONSTACK flag with the sigaction() library call.
+ * Unfortunately, this has to be specified explicitly for each signal,
+ * and it is difficult to enforce given the presence of libraries.
+ *
+ * Our solution is to override the C library's signal handler setup
+ * procedure with our own which enforces the SA_ONSTACK flag.
+ *
+ * XXX: This code only supports Linux with glibc-2.1 or above,
+ * and Solaris 8.
