sh4 uses gUSA (general UserSpace Atomicity) to provide atomicity on CPUs
that don't have atomic instructions. A gUSA region that adds 1 to an
atomic variable stored in @r2 looks like this:
4004b6: 03 c7 mova 4004c4 <gusa+0x10>,r0
4004b8: f3 61 mov r15,r1
4004ba: 09 00 nop
4004bc: fa ef mov #-6,r15
4004be: 22 63 mov.l @r2,r3
4004c0: 01 73 add #1,r3
4004c2: 32 22 mov.l r3,@r2
4004c4: 13 6f mov r1,r15
R0 contains a pointer to the end of the gUSA region
R1 contains the saved stack pointer
R15 contains negative length of the gUSA region
When this region is interrupted by a signal, the kernel detects if
R15 >= -128U. If yes, the kernel rolls back PC to the beginning of the
region and restores SP by copying R1 to R15.
The problem happens if we are interrupted by a signal at address 4004c4.
R15 still holds the value -6, but the atomic value was already written by
an instruction at address 4004c2. In this situation we can't undo the
gUSA. The function unwind_gusa does nothing, the signal handler attempts
to push a signal frame to the address -6 and crashes.
This patch fixes it, so that if we are interrupted at the last instruction
in a gUSA region, we copy R1 to R15 to restore the correct stack pointer
and avoid crashing.
There's another bug: if we are interrupted in a delay slot, we save the
address of the instruction in the delay slot. We must save the address of
the previous instruction.
