"We don't need it any more"
The INTR_MSG_TRAP macro in intr-msg.h used to play little trick with
the stack pointer: it would temporarily save the "real" stack pointer
into ecx, while setting esp to point to just before the message buffer,
and then invoke the mach_msg trap. This way, INTR_MSG_TRAP reused the
on-stack arguments laid out for the containing call of
_hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg (), passing them to the mach_msg trap directly.
This, however, required special support in hurdsig.c and trampoline.c,
since they now had to recognize when a thread is inside the piece of
code where esp doesn't point to the real tip of the stack, and handle
this situation specially.
Commit 1d20f33ff4 has removed the actual
temporary change of esp by actually re-pushing mach_msg arguments onto
the stack, and popping them back at end. It did not, however, deal with
the rest of "the ecx kludge" code in other files, resulting in potential
crashes if a signal arrives in the middle of pushing arguments onto the
stack.
Fix that by removing "the ecx kludge". Instead, when we want a thread
to skip the RPC, but cannot make just make it jump to after the trap
since it's not done adjusting the stack yet, set the SYSRETURN register
to MACH_SEND_INTERRUPTED (as we do anyway), and rely on the thread
itself for detecting this case and skipping the RPC.
This simplifies things somewhat and paves the way for a future x86_64
port of this code.
