I can't tell from your email what you're testing, what behavior you
expect, and what you saw.  A program that sets up a signal handler
without supplying a restorer will not work if the vDSO is off, and
this is by design.

(FWIW, there is a very longstanding libc bug that causes this case to
get severely screwed up if the user's SS is not the expected value,
and that bug was just fixed very recently.  But I doubt this is what
you're seeing.)

I suppose we could improve the kernel to at least push NULL instead of
some random address a bit above 0, but it'll still crash.
