riscv: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv
The vector register belongs to the signal context. They need to be stored
and restored as entering and leaving the signal handler. According to the
V-extension specification, the maximum length of the vector registers can
be 2^16. Hence, if userspace refers to the MINSIGSTKSZ to create a
sigframe, it may not be enough. To resolve this problem, this patch refers
to the commit 94b07c1f8c
("arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv") to enable
userspace to know the minimum required sigframe size through the auxiliary
vector and use it to allocate enough memory for signal context.

Note that auxv always reports size of the sigframe as if V exists for
all starting processes, whenever the kernel has CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V. The
reason is that users usually reference this value to allocate an
alternative signal stack, and the user may use V anytime. So the user
must reserve a space for V-context in sigframe in case that the signal
handler invokes after the kernel allocating V.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
