ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page
Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
