[PATCH] debug/tst-longjmp_chk2: Make signal handler more conservative [BZ #20248]


Currently, printf needs more stack space than what is available with
SIGSTKSZ.  This commit use the the write system call directly instead.

Also use sig_atomic_t for the âpassâ variable (for general
correctness), and restore signal handlers to their defaults, to avoid
masking crashes.

2016-06-13  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	[BZ #20248]
	* debug/tst-longjmp_chk2.c (pass): Use volatile sig_atomic_t.
	(write_message): New function.
	(stackoverflow_handler): Call it instead of printf, to avoid
	excessive stack usage by printf.
	(do_test): Restore SIGSEGV, SIGBUS default handlers.
