x86/signal/64: Fix SS handling for signals delivered to 64-bit programs
The comment in the signal code says that apps can save/restore other segments on their own. It's true that apps can *save* SS on their own, but there's no way for apps to restore it: SYSCALL effectively resets SS to __USER_DS, so any value that user code tries to load into SS gets lost on entry to sigreturn. This recycles two padding bytes in the segment selector area for SS. While we're at it, we need a second change to make this useful. If the signal we're delivering is caused by a bad SS value, saving that value isn't enough. We need to remove that bad value from the regs before we try to deliver the signal. Oddly, the i386 code already got this right. I suspect that 64-bit programs that try to run 16-bit code and use signals will have a lot of trouble without this.
