8ec12ea9ce Use a spare slot in the machine context to identify the context format
and to inherently verify its validity.  Alpha signal frames and trap
frames are different; this field identifies which format the context
is

Set the machine context format (signal frame) before copying it out
when sending a signal.

c5c6b7b38e Re-introduction of sigcontext.
struct sigcontext and ucontext_t/mcontext_t are defined in such
a way that both (ie struct sigcontext and ucontext_t) can be
passed on to sigreturn. The signal handler is still given a
ucontext_t for maximum flexibility.

For backward compatibility sigreturn restores the state for the
alternate signal stack from sigcontext.sc_onstack and not from
ucontext_t.uc_stack. A good way to determine which value the
application has set and thus which value to use, is still open
for discussion.

NOTE: This change should only affect those binaries that use
      sigcontext and/or ucontext_t. In the source tree itself
      this is only doscmd. Recompilation is required for those
      applications.

This commit also fixes a lot of style bugs without hopefully
adding new ones.

NOTE: struct sigaltstack.ss_size now has type size_t again. For
      some reason I changed that into unsigned int.

91078fca0c sigset_t change (part 3 of 5)
-----------------------------

By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.

A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.

The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).

the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.

NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
      the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
      using sc_reserved in sigcontext.
