The sad tale of SIGSTKSZ and MINSIGSTKSZ is documented in glibc.git
commit f7c399cff5bd ("PowerPC SIGSTKSZ"), which explains why glibc
does not use the kernel defines for these constants.
Since then in fact there has been a further expansion of the signal
stack frame size on little-endian with linux commit
573ebfa660 ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit userspace to
512 bytes"), which has caused it to exceed even the glibc defines.
See kernel commit 63dee5df43 ("powerpc: Allow 4224 bytes of stack
expansion for the signal frame") for more details of the history of the
expansion.
Increase MINSIGSTKSZ to 8192 which is double the current glibc value and
fits the current stack frame with room to grow. SIGSTKSZ is set to 4x
the minimum as convention.
glibc will have to be updated as well.

linux/signal.h and asm/signal.h are currently excluded from the UAPI
compile-test because of the errors like follows:
HDRTEST usr/include/asm/signal.h
In file included from <command-line>:
./usr/include/asm/signal.h:103:9: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’
103 | size_t ss_size;
| ^~~~~~
The errors can be fixed by replacing size_t with __kernel_size_t.
Then, remove the no-header-test entries from user/include/Makefile.

Most architectures with the exception of alpha, mips, parisc and
sparc use the same values for these flags. Move their definitions into
asm-generic/signal-defs.h and allow the architectures with non-standard
values to override them. Also, document the non-standard flag values
in order to make it easier to add new generic flags in the future.
A consequence of this change is that on powerpc and x86, the constants'
values aside from SA_RESETHAND change signedness from unsigned
to signed. This is not expected to impact realistic use of these
constants. In particular the typical use of the constants where they
are or'ed together and assigned to sa_flags (or another int variable)
would not be affected.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Only alpha and sparc are unusual - they have ka_restorer in it.
And nobody needs that exposed to userland.
