As decribed in BZ#759, Linux getcontext implementation on Linux does
differs from other SysV system about the returned uc_stack. This is
true not only for i386, but for all the architecture I could actually
check (aarch64, arm, alpha, hppa, m68k, mips, mips64, mips64n32,
powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, s390x, sh, sparc, sparc64, and x86).
And I think we should not change current behavior for some reasons:
1. POSIX 2008 removed this SySV interface for a good reason and changing
this behavior adds nothing for current portable code. POSIX 2001
specification does states that stack should be saved [1] and current
GLIBC code does in a arch-specific manner (inside the mcontext_t)
which allows the setcontext to work correctly.
2. Changing this behavior would potentially require compat symbols and
I see no gain in adding compat symbols for deprecated interfaces.
3. Also, for comment #2 in BZ#759, it is up to kernel do setup the contents
for ucontext_t and currently it does not provide the stack information
as well. Trying to change it is also another fix that does not worth
the possible gains.
Instead my proposal is to make it clear the current interface may differ
depending of the underlying operational system.
glibc documentation and close this bug as invalid.

The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is
performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will
fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled
for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete
wrt. header and standards annotations.
Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl
respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is
introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved
detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for
sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into
the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is
that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and
standard combination.
summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected
syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to
this feature for further information.

Calling setcontext from a signal handler can be done safely so
it is sufficient to note that it is not recommended.
Also mention in setcontext documentation that the behaviour of
setcontext when restoring a context created by a call to a signal
handler is unspecified.
2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Add note that
calling setcontext on a context created by a call to a
signal handler is undefined. Update text to note that
setcontext from a signal handler is possible but not
recommended.

ChangeLog:
2014-03-13 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Improve
clarity and grammar of documentation.
